Sparking Community

We help people build power to spark movements for change in their communities. Because when they do—problems get solved, lives become better and prospects improve.

This is not just about creating close-knit communities, but communities that are ambitious for their members’ health and happiness. Because lasting solutions and a fairer future can only come when communities are at the heart of shaping them.

Coventry Grows

Through Coventry’s Strategic Energy Partnership, E.ON has provided funding to Coventry City Council to create community growing spaces in the city.

The project is in partnership with E.ON, Grapevine, Garden Organic and Citizen and will create up to three new community growing spaces within some of the most green deprived parts of Coventry – including Stoke Heath and Hillfields.

Our previous community organising work with Coventry Urban Eden and Roots In Nature – both community-led initiatives supported by our Connecting for Good movement against isolation and marginalisation – has led to our involvement in Coventry Grows, helping communities take ownership of “unloved” pieces of land towards a greener future and taking into account how climate change has a greater effect on more deprived populations.
