How We Did It: Community wealth building – using council power for communities

Register now

Maximising and building a strong local economy is essential to help communities thrive. Councils can use economic levers and work with their communities, anchor institutions and businesses to help drive forward their local economy.

At this session we will hear from Caroline Wilson, Director of Inclusive Economy and Jobs at Islington, who is working with her team to endorse community wealth building.  We will explore the nuts and bolts of the project, how they started by creating the vision and built objectives, through to working with local infrastructure and how the vision has been embedded across the Borough. 

We will focus on practical delivery and provide you with vital takeaways for your work, including answers to the questions: 

• How do you go about building a strategy focused on communities?
• How to work with stakeholders to make change happen? 
• What is the impact of embedding these strategies? And how can you evidence it?
