Place Matters CIO

Registered charity 1210905 · accounts filings on the Charity Commission register · also known as PLACE MATTERS

We enable diverse people and organisations to come together and collaborate within a place to act on the things that matter to them. We share learning and inspiration between places to build a wider movement for change that will enable communities to thrive. We seek to influence local, regional and national systems (government, NHS, funders) to make the changes that communities want to see.
