Pride in Place Support
Working with communities to share power and shape thriving places
How we can help
Over the last 15 years we’ve helped communities and institutions to:
- Decide how millions of pounds of public money should be invested through participatory budgeting
- Shape local transport futures through citizens’ assemblies’ rooted in fairness and pragmatism
- Co-design community hubs that blend public services with community-led activity
- Build stronger relationships between residents and neighbourhood policing teams
Each of these projects was built on the same belief that underpins Pride in Place: when communities have a genuine say, everyone benefits.
1. Supporting Neighbourhood Boards
We help establish and strengthen boards that are inclusive, representative and transparent. By creating the conditions for positive dialogue and fair decision-making, we ensure local people genuinely shape the future of their neighbourhoods.
2. Engaging Communities in Meaningful Ways
Communities are full of energy, ideas and solutions. We design and facilitate creative, inclusive processes that bring people together, making decisions in structured, positive ways that everyone can trust.
3. Building Capacity and Confidence
Through our accredited Award in Building Social Capital and bespoke coaching, we help residents, officers and partners develop the skills they need to share power, collaborate and deliver change sustainably.
4. Demonstrating Impact
We measure what matters: trust, connection and social capital. As an independent learning partner, we help communities and councils tell the story of their journey, showing the impact of Pride in Place investments.
