Community Ownership: How to purchase or asset transfer a building for the cultural benefit of the community
Are you interested in owning a cultural space and securing a sustainable future for your local community? Would you like to learn more about the process? Join our session where we will hear from organisations supporting and advising on community ownership.
It's the ideal opportunity to hear examples as well as advice and guidance from support agencies, who specialise in private purchase, community shareholding, and asset transfer.
The session is taking place on Wednesday 11 March.
Open Space
Join us for our inaugural online Open Space event.
In the session we will explore your place-based priorities, burning questions or debates through online, round table style, discussion groups.
Open space prevocational themes or questions will be set by you, the audience and Open Space participant, and be based on your experience or interest from your place.
The session is taking place on Wednesday 22 April.
