Many of our government-funded systems are filing the most vulnerable and disadvantaged. At the same time, we are side-lining our greatest asset; local people. We have a stark choice \u2013 to keep pouring money into policies we know aren\u2019t working, or to invest in new and better ways that really improve people\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n
We need a radical reset: one that empowers local charities, grassroots movements and faith groups, in a more imaginative, less bureaucratic, more collaborative approach to community development. A Manifesto for Hope sets out ten tried-and-tested practical principles for how to develop joined-up, cost-effective, community-empowering work, each gleaned form the hard-won experience that has sat at the heart of Steve Chalke\u2019s work over the last four decades. It culminates in a call for a new social covenant, one that will transform the life chances of countless young people and families.<\/p>\n
It’s time to reimagine. It\u2019s time for A Manifesto for Hope!<\/p>\n
