bassac ~ supporting people sustaining communities 
About us
bassac is a membership body for community organisations.
We organise training and events, highlight funding opportunities, and offer tailored support to every member; with members we drive social change by raising their local issues at a regional and national level.
bassac has its origins in the 19th century settlement movement. Read our history.
Years of experience
A history of campaigning
Did you know that Britain's oldest settlements, Oxford House and Toynbee Hall, were founded in east London in 1884?
Successes include raising the school leaving age from 15 to 16 and securing extra fuel payments for people on benefits.
Stand and Deliver: people, power and politics
Our annual conference stimulated some lively debate about how our members can work with councillors to transform politics in their neighbourhoods.
