NIF is all about finding simple, effective ways to involve un-empowered people in decisions affecting their own neighbourhood.
We are about strengthening their links with other neighbourhoods, opening opportunities to improve and enrich their lives. We provide an external, independent approach, working with and through local groups, voluntary bodies and public bodies to effect lasting change. We believe in a holistic neighbourhood approach led through participation. Grassroots facilitation for Grassroots change. Using visual approaches we help provide the catalyst for local players to take forward change.
