Grassroots organisations are small groups of individuals who collaborate to improve their community. These groups are typically non-profit and may consist of both paid staff and volunteers. Their primary goal is to enhance the social, cultural and economic wellbeing of community members.

To qualify as a grassroots organisation, these groups must:

• operate as micro-entities, working primarily within a certain area, such as five streets/or hyper localities
• be established by members of the community
• have an annual turnover of less than £200,000 and have fewer than 10 employees
