Stronger Communities: One Person At A Time

Groundswell is about helping neighbours find out that they are more the same than they are different. When we understand each other it becomes harder to mock, detest and hate and easier to band together on the things that matter in life for all of us. When we are together we are less vulnerable to harms.

Testimonials

I’d like to recommend Groundswell Project to all grassroots organisations working in youth empowerment, counter radicalisation, anti knife crime and other organisations like ours. They supported, connected us and always amplify our events. They have definitely helped our work at Salam Peace.

Mr Lee-South - Director of Salam Peace

I’m a Social Prescriber for the NHS. The Kindness Mapper has been a great tool to find help for people in need of Mental health, befriending, DV, youth services especially within BAME communities. It addresses the issue of health inequality perfectly.

Nusra Khan - Social Prescribing Link Worker

The Training Groundswell Project has offered was well delivered and researched. Listening to a survivor of DV and Radicalisation made it very clear that more needs to be done to address this serious issue.
