Routes to community growth through solidarity

Rooted in communities...

Sharing resources fairly amongst the people of Wigan.

Grass Roots of Wigan is a community-led network for people who want to make changes in the places where they live.

We want to create a people-centred, open network where we have the space to bounce ideas around, offer and receive mutual support, learn together and from each other and stand together in solidarity. 

A network where everyone is listened to and everyone's ideas matter.
