Town Team Movement

Town Team Movement helps people in communities, businesses and governments to be positive changemakers. We're a very social enterprise – a non-profit company on a mission. Our purpose is built on two key ideas - 1. Inspire and support governments to shift towards doing WITH and enabling action BY communities, if they would like to. Inspire and support people to behave as active citizens, rather than as passive consumers, if they would like to. Find out more about our organisation at The To / For / With / By framework above is based on the Helper’s Crossroads developed by Cormac Russell and is being used with Cormac’s permission and adapted under Creative Commons. For more on Cormac’s ideas, go to https://amicitia.org or https://skybrary.aero/sites/default/files/bookshelf/4510.pdf. This is our take on what it means to be an active citizen, which is an adaption of an idea from Irish author and philosopher Charles Handy: Citizenship is the chance to make a difference in the place where you are. Active citizenship is taking that chance. When we think of ourselves as citizens rather than consumers, we’re more likely to come together, volunteer and take action to make our society stronger. Everyone can do something and every action, no matter how small it is, can make a difference. Our 4 main activities as an organisation are: Inspire, support, connect and promote Town Teams Provide innovative and engaging consulting services Work with positive partners to create impacts Deliver in-person and online education and training on placemaking, personal development and community building Our unique way of working The ideas we champion and the individual things we do are not unique. We’re following in the footsteps of others. But, the way we combine and use these things does make us unique. We have crafted the Town Team Movement Way, which is the ‘secret sauce’ that we use in everything we do.
