Grass Roots of Wigan We aren’t looking to create another typical type of infrastructure organisation that maintains the charitable model of helping the needy. We believe the needy are needed. We aren’t looking to build an empire that employs lots of people. We want to grow a network who together learn how to share resource, taking what they need and leaving some for others. An alternative network that relocates power and resource directly to neighbourhoods and grassroot groups that want to work in solidarity towards a vision of collective liberation. Be free to do the work of our hearts and souls. The work that is in our bones. Centring those who live at the margins and not the poverty industry that needs peoples needs to survive. As Rosa Luxemburg wisely said, ‘Those who do not move do not notice their chains.’ If this speaks to you as member of a community, someone alone with a dream, an ally working within a system or a business wanting to invest for the common good - come join us and let’s create our shared future together.
