About this Event
EVENT POSTPONED.
Given the rapidly developing situation with the COVID-19 coronavirus, and the fact that it is so difficult to know how things will be as of 23 March, we've had to take the decision to postpone the York workshop on Community Wealth Building and Economic Democracy.
We very much hope that it will be possible to reschedule a version of the event for a future date, but took the view that under the circumstances a postponement was the only reasonable course of action. Thanks to everyone who was interested in attending.
