In the UK we work with communities of all types, for example parish councils, village neighbours, groups in an urban setting, primary schools and secondary schools.
We help them to direct their efforts, set targets, measure impacts, remove barriers and extend their reach. Community-based change can be a slow process with little access to funds. Grass-root activity of this type, however, plays an essential role in changing behaviour.
This is TCW’s specialism and our long term funding streams help to provide the consistent effort that is needed. We use TCW’s work in Tamil Nadu as a twinning link for schools and communities which builds understanding of the challenge of convergence.
