RadHR is a space where groups and organisations invested in building a fairer and more equitable society can come together to share the nuts and bolts—the policies, processes, practices and stories—of how we organise ourselves based on our values.
We are a free, open, and collaborative resource built by people like you: community groups, mutual aid organisations, cooperatives, activist groups and voluntary sector organisations interested in finding ways of working together that help us look after each other and challenge the power structures we find in the wider world.
