You will finish this interactive, workshop-style session with your own personal action plan to make things happen in your place.
Who’s it for?
This training is for anyone who works in an anchor institution, be that local government, health or education institution, public services, housing or the private sector, who wants practical steps and an action plan to orientating their organisation’s activity towards building community wealth in their place.
