Regional Empowerment Showcase
17 June 2010 10:00 - 16:00
ACE Centre, Cross Street, Nelson, Lancashire BB9 7NN
More and more local people are demanding a greater say in how their areas are run, with all political parties saying they support increased community ownership, control and empowerment.
For the last three years, NWTWC has been funding a wide range of innovative projects across the region from Action Learning to Gender Training, from Community Activists to Green Issues, from work with Migrants to Equality and Inclusion programmes. A wide selection of these urban and rural projects and other projects from Lancashire and beyond will be showcased at the event.
As well as afternoon workshops and a special Lancashire section, there will also be visits to local East Lancashire Community Projects. Keynote speech by Ed Cox, Director of ippr north.
Come and visit the new Nelson ACE Centre; learn, share and discuss how communities must continue to speak for themselves especially in times of financial uncertainty, recession and possible cuts.
If you have a community engagement project you want to ‘showcase’ please let us know.
