for community
CORE stands for Community Organising Resource Ecosystem. We’re committed to delivering technology that works for those driving positive change.
Community First
We prioritise grassroots action and local knowledge. Every member joins a Community of Practice where sharing skills and supporting peers is at the heart of what we do.
Justice & Sustainability
We actively welcome those working toward social justice, climate action, and a sustainable future – campaigns grounded in evidence, guided by facts, and driven by fairness.
Ethical Boundaries
To maintain a safe and trusted network, we do not work with organisations that seek to exclude or marginalise others, or that spread disinformation or incite hatred.
Transparency & Honesty
We practice what we campaign for. We are open about how we operate, acknowledge our challenges, and trust is built through consistent, honest action.
A social enterprise reinvesting

As a social enterprise, we are dedicated to maximising community impact. Our structure ensures that all assets and profits are reinvested directly into the ecosystem.
We provide free entry-level access so every group can start with professional tools, regardless of their budget. As you grow, our costs remain significantly lower than commercial alternatives.
You can reduce costs further through our Ecosystem Model – contributing your skills and knowledge back to the community to help everyone thrive.
