The Speaker for this event will be Deana Wildgoose, ThinkFC and Ian Wilson, CASE
Looking to generate sustainable community wealth? Wanting to support communities to do it for themselves?
At this workshop Ian and Deana from CASE and THINK FC will share what they are doing in North West of the County and introduce you to some tools to share and use in your area.
This is a great opportunity to hear from others and to share ideas and initiatives and take away some tools from the workshop.
The aims of this advocacy programme, which is funded through Power to Change, is to engage key stakeholders and raise the profile of the current issues and challenges in delivering sustainable community asset ownership in their local places across England.
It will also consider the impact of the Covid crisis on community assets and the role of community assets in the post-crisis response, recovery and resilience of local economies.
Leicester is a priority area for Power to Change so they are keen to support approaches for sustainable community asset ownership and help grow the sector locally.
