Fantastic to see this article by our Director of #JustTransition @MorrisonBella16 in @themjcouk, calling for “local leaders to drive action on the climate emergency, and support our places and communities to adapt to a greener future.” 🌎👇🏻

Terribly sad to hear of Lord Kerslake’s passing. He was generous in insight, time, and driving strong ideas that matter to our communities including the Civic University Network. Many dedicated to the service of place will take inspiration from him. RIP theguardian.com/politics/2023/…

Thanks @wearenewlocal and @jesstud for great debate on #devolution #communitypower yesterday. Energy & scale of #StrongerThings2023 showed how far you’ve brought the agenda from margins (where it should never have been) to foundational to the UK’s future. Plus @TonysChocoUK_IE 👌🏻

I’m delighted to be speaking about lessons learned in involving communities in devolution - looking beyond the economic opportunity to how communities working with public, business, investment sectors can ensure devo tackles wider social, place and people outcomes. @icstudiesuk

@DeborahMeaden flying an important flag on #BBC on role of business to people the time and license to volunteer. Many people legitimately can’t volunteer due to the triple burden - we need a joint effort of business, charity and government if we are to change the face of this.

‘What works centre must humbly meet people where they are at; find high champions in places; and not privilege the perfect over the good’ - brilliant summary by @LigiaTeixeira as we look at lessons and insights from the What Works Movement @policyatkings

Agree with need to reimagine civic participation, but @icstudiesuk youth-led research for #CivicJourney project reveals a map of agency & action far from just ‘posting about climate change online’. We need to work with them, not overlook this. thetimes.co.uk/article/britis…

Congratulations to @LocalTrust on the launch of the #communitywealthfund this evening. Long years of hard work making the case for the involvement of local people in deciding how to change, then leading the change, in some of the poorest neighbourhoods in the UK.
