Great Places to Grow Up

Children and young people thrive as part of strong, connected communities. 

United Communities brings schools and communities together to create the conditions for locally led change. Working alongside 50 schools across 26 communities in England, we combine national infrastructure with grassroots energy to invest in community spaces, grow local leadership, back locally led action and steward a network of youth and community practitioners. 

We believe in the power of community to bring out the best in everyone.
