Join for a day of inspirational ideas and practical solutions to build Wakefield’s wellbeing economy. Although focused on Wakefield, the conference will develop ideas and explore concepts that can be applied elsewhere.
Community wealth building can begin to spread wealth, empower communities, transform our district economy and deliver a just transition to a low carbon economy.
Keynote: Matthew Brown (Democracy Collaborative, Preston Town Council, co-author of Paint Your Town Red) will introduce us to principles and practice of community wealth building, highlight the successes and pitfalls, using examples from across the country.
Hear case studies from successful community enterprises demonstrating the potential for ordinary people to work together to deliver the services their community needs.
Time and space for discussion and questioning.
