Local community is essential.
At the Newsmast Foundation, we're working to support local communities by providing digital spaces for them to come together. Places they can organise, and inform as a collective.
The Community Power report by Local Trust amplifies our message, that by providing space to come together, communities can strengthen beyond their differences.
