The home of relational organising
About Us
The CSO is dedicated to empowering communities through relational organising. We provide expert support and guidance to grassroots programmes and alliances, helping them build collective power and drive meaningful change.
Our approach is rooted in over eight decades of organising experience, inspired by the pioneering methods of Fred Ross Sr. By blending proven strategies with modern techniques, we equip communities to take action, foster resilience, and create a lasting impact.
Our mission is to identify overlooked communities and empower local organisations to drive civic renewal. We achieve this by offering capacity building, technical assistance, and governance support to organisations engaged in organising work.
Through coaching and mentoring, we nurture emerging leaders and foster collaboration among active citizens. Together, we aim to create sustainable, thriving communities built on shared purpose and resilience.
