Welcome to Village In The City

Village In The City is a post-COVID initiative to help you build micro-local communications and communities where YOU live. Micro-local communities – ‘Villages In The City’ can build trust, provide mutual support and friendship, and create more resilience both to tackle current challenges and improve our lives right now.

We support and empower citizens who want to strengthen their local community, improving their lives and those of the people they want to serve.  

At Village In The City we share know-how, ideas, good practice and are a community of community builders able and willing to help each other as needed. We believe that inclusive local communities lead directly to better, more positive and meaningful connections, and are inspired by the belief that we can radically improve the lives of the people living on our doorsteps.

We welcome anyone interested in getting engaged in building your neighbourhood, and helping others to do the same. Specifically we particularly welcome: 

• Would-be village-builders who want to get started in your own neighbourhood

• Existing village-builders who are keen to share and learn 

• Positive community members from Village In The City communities who are ready to give more than they get

• People with relevant professional know-how who want to share and support. 

   We already have members from four continents. Come and join us for access to exclusive webinars, resources, connection and support, and to meet people like you around the world. 

See Mark McKergow's TEDx video about Village In The City, how it started and what we're doing to make the world a better place, neighbourhood by neighbourhood.
