OUR FOOTWORKERS
We are a small (but mighty) network of contributors united in the belief that supporting local social innovation builds resilient communities and leads to positive, lasting, social change.
We work with a close network of local social innovators and critical friends, with backgrounds ranging across social enterprise, community organisations, finance, the built environment and media.

THE INSIGHTS GROUP
Footwork benefits from an extraodinary group of individuals with first-hand experience of social innovation, community funding and place-making to help us think about our work.
We have called this an Insights Group because we know this deep local knowledge and experience are so important in identifying and supporting people who do the difficult job of bringing about change in their communities.
