Rebuilding Community, Revitalising Democracy
Exeter Community Assembly hosts regular, facilitated assemblies where people come together to discuss what matters, share ideas, and take collective action. We support neighbourhood-level conversations that lead to real, community-led transformation and improvement.
We're part of a growing movement that sees local decision-making not as something done to people, but with them. Through inclusive, respectful dialogue, we're helping to rebuild the community connections in our city.
Thinking together
Share your views and listen to others. Get creative, find common ground and make plans to improve your neighbourhood. Or just have some good conversations!
Energise and empower local communities
Participating in assemblies helps you become part of a local community, which can be an antidote to powerlessness, individualism and isolation.
There is no us and them, there is only we.
Small group conversations can lead to common sense change that benefits everyone. We are making courageous, respectful dialogue the new normal in Exeter.
Involving all of us in local decisions
A functional democracy should have people's voices at its heart. We think people need to have more of a say in the decisions which affect them.
There will usually be a Community Assembly in Exeter each month (often the 2nd Sunday of every month). Everyone is welcome!
