We develop skills and leadership capacity in the neighbourhoods where we work, through the hands-on experience of taking action for change, through formal training, and with the support of professional organisers. When our members identify an area where change is needed, we look together at who can make it happen, and how we can enter into a constructive relationship with them.

We know that real change mostly happens after a struggle - and involves holding ourselves and the powerful to account. This takes courage, and isn't always welcome. But again and again we find that after the initial tension, London Citizens members win real respect and make a positive difference to people's lives.

Our members make decisions together democratically, on a regular basis. In bringing together different interest groups into a trusted forum to listen to each other and to take action together, we play an active role in breaking down mistrust and suspicion.
