Potential and strength

What is social capital?

In short, it’s about discovering how, by working together, a group of people is greater than the sum of its parts.

By leveraging strengths and potential, common methods focus on empowering individuals, fostering ideas, and enhancing capacities.

Social capital is the foundation upon which thriving communities are built. It encompasses the networks, relationships, and norms that enable collective action for mutual benefit. Strong social capital means communities are better equipped to tackle challenges, support their members, and create a vibrant, inclusive environment.

For community groups and Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) looking to develop social capital, Small Change Revolution offers a valuable resource.

Our social capital toolkit provides everything you need to identify and harness the resources, skills, and experiences available in your community.

Join us in the Small Change Revolution and let’s build a brighter future together.

If you have success, you, your group, charity or organisation would like to share – we would love to hear from you!
