This document summarizes the growth and activities of "Our Society" over time. It started as a small group meeting in cafes and grew to hundreds attending events within a year. While operating on a limited budget, Our Society has engaged communities in Dudley Borough through partnerships, community asset mapping, and developing guidance for empowering citizens. It aims to challenge preconceptions of "Big Society" and support community-led initiatives through collaborative projects and knowledge sharing.
