Good Work News
Good Work News is The Working Centre’s quarterly newspaper telling stories about community building. In our fourth decade we increasingly look at emergent ideas, how to see the wider wholeness of our interconnected world, and how to develop regenerative practices to respond to climate change. First published in 1984, we have 150 issues with a print circulation of 13,000 and a growing online version.
About Us
The Working Centre is a mature community-based organization, creating access to tools for those without work, those without housing and the most vulnerable – a web of community building. We build dynamic spaces where community forms and people find places of belonging, practical supports and ways to contribute.
