About the session
Community Wealth Building (CWB) is an approach to building a strong local economy by addressing how wealth is generated, circulated and distributed in a place. It is an approach that aims to address inequalities and benefit local communities through redirecting wealth into the local economy. Anchor organisations, like local authorities, NHS Trusts, and other large place-based organisations, play a vital role in bringing to life Community Wealth Building strategies.
The first steps for many anchor organisations are to develop a strategy, framework or plan for their Community Wealth Building work. In this interactive and informative webinar we will hear lessons from leading anchors, and those who are starting out, on how they have approached this, and their lessons learnt. There will also be an opportunity for you to connect with others and share your experiences and learning.
We will explore questions like:
What are the practical steps you can take when developing a Community Wealth Building strategy?
Who needs to be involved?
How do organisational and system level Community Wealth Building strategies differ?
What will I gain by attending?
