MIGHTYOAK is an initiative of ACORN the Union.
From humble beginnings 10 years ago, ACORN has built a member-led organisation of thousands, using our unique organising model to win change for our communities.
Many of the skills and strategies employed have been tried, tested and improved over time, not in the classroom but in practice; door by door, street by street, in our communities up and down the country.
We are pleased we can now share these with others in the movement, offering bespoke training and professional services to help organisers and organisations achieve change.
