The Vision of the Belong Network is a more integrated, less divided society. Our members span local government, civil society and the business sector. All share a common goal – to bring people together across difference and build stronger, more resilient communities. Belong exists to connect, support and mobilise all those working to achieve this – developing good practice, influencing policy and building the evidence base on what makes a stronger society.
Social cohesion is at the heart of what Belong and our members do. Find out about the latest events, research and opinion here:

We are proud to have been a founding member of the Belong Network. Our partnership with Belong has helped Manchester to connect with and learn from others whilst at the same time enabled us to better understand and connect with each other across the city. The ongoing dialogue and forums to discuss complex and live issues and the access to resources including training for practitioners and elected members have helped us to shape our first social cohesion strategy in Manchester. We really value their knowledge, expertise and support.
