conference 2006
Achieving real and lasting change in 21st century neighbourhoods
Sustainable development from the grassroots up
3-5 February 2006, Brighton
Ben Hughes, Chief Executive of bassac, reports:
"We had a fantastic, thought provoking conference in Brighton. Over 250 people attended – from local authorities to think tanks, from Central Government to private sector, and, of course, a wide range of community organisations.
One of the key themes to emerge was the need to make community level investment more coherent – so that people can 'look beyond funding'."
Workshop presentations:
- Influencing and transforming communities
- 50 ways to leave your funders
- Empowering communities through enterprise and innovation
- Rethinking regeneration
- Social and economic returns of environmental projects - Chris Church
- Social and economic returns of environmental projects - Lorraine Hart
- Thank you to our conference supporters: Defra, NatWest and the Royal Bank of Scotland, Brighton and Hove City Council, and Social Economy Bristol Development Project.
