The forthcoming Community Empowerment White Paper seeks to increase the ability of the individual citizen to influence local decisions, improve local services, take on civic roles, and hold officials and councillors to account.

But, as many in Government recognise, community empowerment is not achieved simply by people acting as individuals alone. It is also about people who are excluded from power organising themselves, and building alliances with others, to bring about positive change.

This national symposium will:

investigate the role of multi-purpose community anchors
examine the growing momentum behind community asset ownership and community-led social enterprise, and how this relates to community empowerment
explore the implications for community investment and support – including the role of local authorities, housing associations, RDAs, and regeneration partnerships.

We invite you to join one hundred leading policy makers, investors, and practitioners on June 5th, at Coin Street Community Builders’ superb new conference facilities on London’s South Bank.
