How do you make social investment work for your community? 👉️ Read our latest blog that explores the journey of the Half Moon Inn in Tees Valley, and how community-led action and social investment came together to save it > buff.ly/2T6HP3H #pub #socialimpact #community

A treasured pub, a committed community, and the power of social investment
Tees Valley Community Asset Preservation Trust (TVCAPT) was established 10 years ago in response to local government funding cuts, with its initial focus on protecting community centres and village halls. As these buildings were previously subsidised by local authorities, they were now at risk of closure. The Trust was initially set up as an advice service to support organisations to diversify and commercialise their buildings.

Really good way to disrupt the usual “broadcast” model of keynotes - made us think about how we engage. Useful tool to use in future - start with asking questions of *how* the audience will engage before even starting to discuss *what* they engage with. #StrongerThings

One more nugget from Georgia Gould, talking at #StrongerThings: reform and change needs to come from the ground up; design & build from communities for communities. Experiment, test and grow!

In order to see 1000 flowers bloom there needs to be new funding models and a truly sustainable income mix. Additionally commissioning needs to be demystified. And know which funding is suitable depending on the stage of your enterprise/project 🌿🌲🌳 More takeaways from the #MissionEconomySummit

What does a power-sharing agreement between local councils and communities look like in practice? For the residents of Market Drayton, it means co-designing a new Community & Family Hub. Our campaign leader Charlotte Hollins is quoted in @shropshirestar.bsky.social article.
