Self-Reliant Groups
Through our partnership with Purple Shoots we offer the chance for our creative groups to become longer term projects.
SRGs are groups of people who meet for friendship, support, skill sharing and saving together. They are independent and can make their own decisions. Groups have the potential to develop their own enterprises for the benefit of themselves and their communities.
The wonderful thing about SRGs is that they can all look very different, but with the ultimate goal that the individuals can depend upon one another to creative a positive impact.
