Community
These groups work to support, develop and improve communities, whether they be geographic or demographic.
Some groups help voices within a community to be heard. Others provide comfortable and safe spaces for members of a community to meet and socialise. Others aim to improve access to resources and services.
The definition is quite broad, so expect to find all sorts of interesting and inspiring things in this section.
