19 local changemakers drive forward our campaign for community power, and 100s more support it.
Three of them feature in our new film. Meet Andy from @heeleytrust , Hannah from @nudgecommunity & @josiahsulc from Bradford.
Their work is just the tip of a community-powered iceberg.
Back them: right-here.org/community-pow…
Proud to have worked on this film from @right_hereUK.
