Groundswell works to prevent hate, extremism, and polarisation by strengthening the ties that bring communities together. We believe real and lasting national cohesion starts at the local level, built on trusted relationships, shared understanding, and communities that can meet people’s social and emotional needs before harm takes hold. Through this approach, Groundswell helps create safer, more connected communities where people can thrive together, as the short film below explains.
