Formed in 2002, the NWActs Committee is now well organised to help individual Trusts and Societies in the north west area (see map) to be heard, to help to create local societies where they do not at present exist, and to coordinate the collective desires of all civic societies in the north west. Regular links with adjacent areas are made.

The direction for the future within the Civic Society movement is towards more control from the 'grass roots'.
