The York Model: Community wealth Sam Leach (chair)
Event details
Could York and North Yorkshire become a national beacon for community wealth building, reshaping who owns, controls and benefits from the local economy? What if more of the wealth generated in the region stayed here, building stronger communities, supporting good work and growing shared assets for the future?
Join members of the Mayoral Community Wealth Building Commission to explore a bold vision for a fairer, more resilient economy - one rooted in local ownership, social enterprise and community-led action. Hear how the Commission is laying the foundations for change and what it will take to turn that ambition into reality.
This event is part of the Festival Focus series ‘Mapping Wealth, Ownership and Place in York’ presented in partnership with the Joseph Rowntree Foundation. You may also be interested in ‘Rowntree Revisited: 125 years on’ taking place on Friday 12 June from 11am to 12.30pm.
