About the event
Hosts:
Sarah Longlands, Chief Executive & Simon Grove-White, Senior Researcher – CLES
Cllr Matthew Brown, Leader – Preston Council
Join Sarah Longlands, Chief Executive – CLES and Simon Grove-White, Senior Researcher – CLES and Co-Author of the CCIN’s Social Value Toolkit, as they help CCIN Members explore how Community Wealth Building principles translate into day-to-day council decisions on procurement, employment, land use and anchor institution partnerships.
Councillor Matthew Brown, Leader of Preston Council, and Community Wealth Building pioneer in the UK, will be giving a considered response to his approach to regeneration
” The answer is often in the choices councils and anchor institutions make every day about who they buy from, who they employ, and what they do with land and assets.”
