Community Chartering Network (CCN)
Enabling and supporting the rejuvenation of UK communitiesAbout CCN
The Community Chartering Network (CCN) is a UK-wide network with a shared commitment to community empowerment and responsible environmental stewardship. Members and connected parties include professional facilitators, lawyers, planners, community advocates and leaders.
CCN was set up to explore and establish new models for community engagement and rejuvenation around shared lived experiences of place, and essential rights and responsibilities.
Our mission is to support communities who wish to ensure genuinely sustainable local development. In achieving this, our aim is to enable truly resident-led outcomes through collective decision-making approaches which are open, transparent and inclusive, and tailored to specific local objectives, issues, needs and context.
The CCN team were integral in the development the UK’s first Community Charters: rights-based documents which set out a clear statement of what local residents value and wish to safeguard. We also played an important role in supporting Scottish communities in the ‘Talking Fracking’ public consultation in 2017.
