Creating Places for Everyone Join a specialist peer networking group

As one part of our Creating Places for Everyone action plan, Locality is committed to supporting three online specialist peer networking groups, resourced through our Connectors-UK programme, funded by the National Lottery Community Fund. Our peer networking groups will operate across a broad typology of the Locality membership that is discussed in our Creating Places for Everyone report. While not intended to be neat or definitive, this typology has helped us shape our support offer so that it is relevant to organisations working in different contexts. You can read more about the typologies in the report. We recognise that this is not a fixed typology and there will be overlapping support needs for organisations across the areas.

Locality members with the Essentials or Membership Plus package are able to join these groups. Meetings will begin online in May 2026.

Leaders of Colour Group

For leaders of community organisations who identify as people of colour.

This group, established in response to Locality's “No More Blank Pages” report in 2021, is an existing peer networking group. Locality will continue to resource this group and adapt it to evolving needs, to ensure leaders of colour have a safe and supportive space, rooted in empathy, trust and empowerment, which can help equip them with tools and strategies to address leadership challenges.

Embedding Anti-Racism Group

For generalist community organisations set up for and focused on supporting place-based communities, working in ethnically diverse – and often predominantly racialised – neighbourhoods.

This new group is targeted at supporting multipurpose community organisations to develop their anti-racist “lens”. Group meetings will provide opportunities to share good practice, and discuss shared challenges. They will focus on understanding specific experiences of making the shift from a generalist position of social justice, to a proactive anti-racist stance, and what it looks like to use anti-racism as a lens to shape community organisations’ activities.

Building Bridges Group

For generalist community organisations set up for and focused on supporting place-based communities, working in majority white British neighbourhoods. 

This new peer learning group is targeted at multipurpose community organisations working in majority white British neighbourhoods and at the sharp end of some of the most toxic debates our country is experiencing. This will be a safe space to learn and unlearn, building strength and solidarity to build inclusion in places which are increasingly being defined by division and to create allyship with wider racial justice movements.
