Locality is a leading network of community organizations in the UK that was formed through the merger of two other networks. It believes that every community has potential. Locality's members are independent, led by local people, work to drive social change, trade for community benefit, and develop community assets and ownership. Locality held its first national convention in November 2011 in Manchester to discuss community issues and network.
