“Social Capital is a PR function
for creating the ecosystem
and capacity to co-operate,
collaborate and co-create by
building greater connectivity,
capability and confidence
within a community.”
Andy Green
‘Social capital refers to the institutions,
relationships, and norms that shape the
quality and quantity of a society’s social
interactions… Social capital is not just the
sum of the institutions which underpin a
society - it is the glue
that holds them together’
The World Bank
“How we help each other,
to help each other”
