4%

Only 4% of charitable giving reaches micro community organisations - and that’s exactly why this zine exists.*

Everyone featured in this zine is a micro community organisation.

Last year alone, we estimate that hundreds of thousands of community groups across the UK applied for funding - many didn’t receive a penny. Only a small handful received council support.

We believe in backing the people doing the work on the ground - the unsung heroes making real change, block by block.

When you buy a copy, a product, or subscribe online, your support goes directly to helping these local projects thrive. We don’t fund big charities - we believe transparency matters, and you should know exactly where your money goes.

Want to get involved? Follow these groups on Instagram, reach out, and find ways to take part.

And remember: this is just a glimpse. There are countless inspiring initiatives happening across London and beyond.

The best way to find them? Visit your local community centre and ask. That’s where the real stories begin.
