Thanks for visiting our site – we hope to tell you here what we're all about and our aims to boost Wigan community projects.
We are a group of women who have worked in the Wigan community for years, and have seen the amazing things that local people can do when they have the right support.
But we have seen barriers that stop people from getting their ideas off the ground, such as:
- a lack of funding
- too much red tape
- volunteer shortage
- low attendance/engagement
- collaboration issues
- accessibility barriers
How can GRoW help you to overcome these barriers?
Without support, communities can suffer. GRoW aims to help people access mutual support and learn from each other.
Our aim is to see new growth in communities – we want to support a wide variety of projects ranging from an individual who wants to hold a festival to a community group that needs a new building.
We don't believe that resources should be constrained and support limited – and with our pool of expertise, plus that of our members, we can help communities take ownership of their ideas.
We use mushrooms in our logo because they grow together – forming a root-like network which actually helps other plants and trees to grow!
If you have an idea that you would like to grow, sign up on our Members page and submit your idea on the Ideas page.
