How We Did It: Rebuilding disadvantaged communities through locality working

Register now

Tackling inequality and disadvantage head on by targeting resources at the most deprived areas within your patch is a brave proposal.  How transformative can this approach be within a long-term strategy?

At this How We Did It in partnership with 3ni we’ll hear from Liz Jarmin, Head of Locality Partnerships, Leeds City Council who will set out the story of the work Leeds has been undertaking for the past 9 years, on testing a targeted approach to working in their most deprived wards and the results they have seen.

We will explore the nuts and bolts of how the ward level approach has developed without getting additional resources from the council and how they are measuring the success of their work with their communities and partners in these wards.  We’ll also learn how they’ve tested different engagement processes with their communities and come away with an understanding of:

• Practical insights into building partnerships and sustaining momentum with no extra funding. 
• the difference this long-term approach has made in different wards
• How to manage the politics and local leadership to make this approach a success that works for everyone
