Solidarity Socials are informal meet-ups for organisations, projects, initiatives and individuals in the region who are offering support, mutual aid, and an alternative to the extractive and oppressive mainstream economic system.  They are also a great opportunity to introduce the initiative you work for and meet other grassroots organisations working in the region.

Solidarity Socials are part of For Solidarity, a project initiated between The Newbridge Project and The Solidarity Economy Association, to map grass-roots organisations and projects in the North East that are working as part of a Solidarity Economy.
