Community Britain is the newest campaign from the Co-operative Party that highlights the role communities are already playing in solving our nation's most pressing challenges and reclaims the role of communities as a serious political and economic force – not just a feel-good afterthought.

We asked community leaders, experts and representatives from around the country what community meant to them. The result is an essay collection, Stories from Community Britain, that showcases the communities across the country who are already pioneering solutions to important issues like climate change, economic stagnation and social cohesion.

Taken together, these stories provide a blueprint of what our country could look like if every community had the power, ownership, and resources to shape the places they live.
