How we respond to the pandemic in a way that is inclusive, participative and empowering? This is the question that I discussed with Shim Gooch – Leadership Project Manager at Reaching People here in Leicester, and Nick Gardham, CEO of Community Organisers, whose national role is to ignite social action in communities, embed community organising locally and in different sectors, and develop a strong network and sustainable future for neighbourhood community organising.
We discussed how important it is to manage change in our communities by calling on people’s values, their sense of belonging, and using the trust that is built-up between people who are working on different kinds of projects, but who have similar stories of empowerment and mutual support to tell.
