Town Team Movement

Town Team Movement is a very social enterprise – a non-profit company on a mission. We are building a movement of positive ‘doers’ making change in their local area. The decentralised movement is built on a shared purpose and values, which we have summarised in the Town Team Charter. Our purpose centres on two key ideas - 1. Inspire and support governments to shift towards doing WITH and enabling action BY communities, if they would like to. 2. Inspire and support people to behave as active citizens, rather than as passive consumers, if they would like to. We work with local Town Teams, communities, local governments, government agencies, developers, partners and supporters to help inspire, support and promote positive social, economic, environmental and governance changes that align with our purpose and values. Find out more at https://www.townteammovement.com/. This has all grown from a simple, but powerful idea discussed by volunteers sitting around a kitchen table in 2016. The idea is to make it easier for local 'doers' to create the positive change they want to see in their communities. Surprisingly simple! Our 4 main activities as an organisation are 1. Inspire, support, connect and promote Town Teams 2. Provide innovative and engaging consulting services 3. Work with positive partners to create impacts 4. Deliver in-person and online education and training on placemaking, personal development and community building.
