Grapevine’s work illustrates how people and communities can meet one another’s needs, claim power and take action on what matters to them—transforming services and systems along the way.
This year, we’re marking three decades by sharing our story of how we’ve gone from a small single-issue charity to an organisation at the centre of work to build power, build belonging and strengthen people across our region.
Grappling with the knottiest questions facing our communities and systems while developing boundary-pushing responses over those thirty years has been quite the journey!

Over the next six months, we will publish a series of blogs breaking the bigger story down across three themes—describing our attempts to:
- Strengthen democracy
- Build solidarity across divides
- Collaborate to change public service systems.
We hope this will help bring our 30th anniversary story under the lens of the challenges we face in society today.
Look out for our first #GrapevineAt30 blog soon!
