Welcome to the
Community Nest
What is The Community Nest?
The Community Nest is a space for grassroots changemakers and allies to connect, share skills, and support each other. Together, we’re building a resilient network rooted in solidarity, learning, and collective power.
We provide opportunities for help with admin, training, capacity building, networking and more. We’re on a mission to facilitate a community of learning, kindness, solidarity and respect, creating a space to power change from the ground up.

How can you help others?
Want to help?
With the help of City Bridge Trust, over the next few years, we want to understand the needs and strengths of the changemakers we work with and offer practical learning.
Want to help? Share your skills, offer support, or connect others. Whether it’s admin, training, or practical advice — your contribution strengthens the network and helps build change from the ground up.
What can you do?
Share your resources: We can either host the files or link to where to find them. We don’t want to spend time duplicating good resources if they already exist; we just want to make sure they are accessible to those who need them. These resources could be guides, templates, exercises, videos, etc.
Share your knowledge: Do you have a specialist subject you could offer training on? Have you spent your whole career reading grant applications and gathering tips on how to stand out? Could you run a workshop using exercises that you’ve found useful to reach your goal? You don’t have to be an expert, just sharing your experience is useful.
Join our directory: We’re creating a yellow pages of changemakers, supporters and allies. Could you offer a helping hand when it comes to strategy building, or facilitating? Can you provide legal advice? Are you a whizz at design and branding? Do you offer discounted rates for changemakers and unincorporated groups? We want to hear from you.
Recommendations: We want to build a crazy strong network, and we want the right people in it. If you know anyone who might be interested in helping our community, please send us your recommendations.
Can you help in another way? Could you offer the use of your space or office for meetings? Do you have storage space that’s not being used? Do you have volunteer days you’d like to use supporting grassroots change?
Please email our Community Nest team if you’re able to help in any way. We are open to suggestions and so thankful for your time.
