Communities are facing big challenges; the climate crisis, poor housing, disconnection and division. Too often, decisions are made far away in Whitehall, leaving local voices unheard. Our Community Charter recognises that you are already creating solutions..

Is it really outrageous to want our communities to have access to a healthy home & a clean environment? To play, swim & roam? To participate & challenge local decisions? Join us as we campaign for a Charter for Community Rights. Find out more % add your name charterfordemocracy.org/support-the-...

Storm Floris barreled into Scotland in August with 134 mph winds & power cuts—an extreme event not expected in summer. Climate change is shifting the norms and our planning must catch up. Communities need stronger, climate-smart standards and powers in housing & infrastructure.

Another week, another weather warning. Meanwhile, communities still lack the power to demand what they need to fight the impacts of the #ClimateCrisis. Why? Because current planning rules block councils from going beyond national standards — even in the face of the climate crisis....

Planning isn’t working.

Cold homes. Lost green space. Profit before people.

We're fighting for the Right to Plan — a future where communities, not developers, shape what gets built.

Parliament may be in recess, but the Planning & Infrastructure Bill isn’t going anywhere.

This legislation risks tearing down local democratic planning in favour of fast-track developments and centralised control - we need more community input, not less.

Here’s to people-powered change, and to many more festivals full of hope.

We had an amazing time at Stainsby Festival connecting with festival-goers, sharing stories, and talking about building power from the ground up. From powerful conversations to muddy boots and music in the air — it was grassroots activism at its finest.
