ABOUT THE COMMUNITY MATTERS CAMPAIGN
The Community Matters campaign celebrates the impact of charities and community and voluntary organisations on the day-to-day lives of people in every community. The campaign aims to highlight how local and European elected representatives can better support this work and elevate the voices of the people they support. We are asking candidates to support Community Matters by signing our pledge and publicly support Community Matters by using the hashtag #valuecommunity so the people in our communities can prioritise the election candidates that prioritise them.
