Michael Hancock of Community Alliances has developed a new model for Neighbourhood Councils. He lives in Dorset and has been involved in Social Enterprises since 2009. In 2018 he received a grant to deliver Soup Crowdfunding events in his local town. He became a trustee of Sustainable Dorset and of Poole Community Exchange. One of the pitchers at Poole Soup introduced him to Flatpack Democracy and together they founded Alliance for Local Living a political party to change local politics as we know it.
