About Membership Services & tools Policy & campaigns Events Become a memberLog in Home About The Power of Community We’ve always believed in backing local people and community organisations to make their communities stronger. In 2020 as the world has faced extraordinary challenges, hardship, and uncertainty, we have experienced the power of community like never before. From the first days of the crisis, barely missing a beat, community organisations mobilised to support their neighbourhoods through the hardest of times. Findings from our membership survey, carried out this summer, are a testament to the resilience of our members. This latest report shows that the pandemic has dealt huge blows to the community sector’s financial stability. But our findings also show the determination of members to continue to weather the storm, while at the same time they have been battling rising demand in their communities, responding flexibly and finding enterprising, innovative ways to meet an ever-increasing demand.
