Just a side-note, but personal change is only one of the five ways fundamental ways that we can change society – we don’t focus on personal change alone, we want to change our community, our local businesses and our government’s attitude – local government and Westminster. Find out more on our website. 

We are very keen on everyone being local, coming to in-person meetings and leveraging their local knowledge and connections, to keep group dynamics strong and foster motivation and commitment.
