Grass Roots of Wigan (GRoW)
Routes to community growth through solidarity
Rooted in communities...
Sharing resources fairly amongst the people of Wigan.
Grass Roots of Wigan is a community-led network for people who want to make changes in the places where they live.
We want to create a people-centred, open network where we have the space to bounce ideas around, offer and receive mutual support, learn together and from each other and stand together in solidarity.
A network where everyone is listened to and everyone's ideas matter.

How you can become a part of positive change in Wigan...
We need more members of the community to join us. By working alongside Grass Roots of Wigan, you can make your ideas become a reality. We can offer support, funding and guidance so your project can grow.
We invite local people to submit their ideas on projects. Whether you're an individual, a group of neighbours or an established community group, we want to hear from you. And you can share those ideas, and your stuff, here in our Groups.
