Together they create spaces and networks for connection and collaboration that create powerful, lasting change in how things are done. Bringing resources and decision making into local hands, where they believe that real change happens.

LocalMotion works in six places— Torbay, Oldham, Middlesbrough, Lincoln, Enfield and Carmarthen —where communities are building on local strengths, imagining new futures and leading change that lasts.
