About Us
Together We Can is the government campaign to bring government and people closer together, encouraging public bodies to do more to enable people to influence local decisions. It is led by Communities and Local Government and is closely linked to the Local Government White Paper's aim of giving local people and local communities more influence and power to improve their lives.

About this site
This site aims to provide information about sources of help including organisations, sources of funding, and advice. As it grows it will provide case studies to show how issues have been successfully tackled and give links to research and reports that help explain what works and why. It also aims to provide easy access to government policy documents, which can provide valuable insight into the programmes and initiatives being promoted by government departments and their partners.
There will be weekly topical articles, with links to case studies and sources of further information, and there will discussion forums on changing themes. So as well as providing easy signposting to sources of information and help, the site provides a place for community activists and others to discuss issues and share ideas about community empowerment and engagement.
We want this site to be as useful as possible so please share your feedback with us.
We look forward to hearing from you.
