With support from the Emerging Futures team at Joseph Rowntree Foundation, we have 60 fully funded places for workshops & study visits on next year’s ABCs of Community Assets!
Community ownership is on the rise, as groups across the country work to secure the spaces that matter most – from empty high-street buildings to local halls, pubs, and green spaces. The ABC of Community Assets programme supports this growing movement with practical workshops and peer learning that help groups take the next step in acquiring or managing local assets.
From mobilising community support, choosing a legal structure, and developing a robust business model, through to raising investment or negotiating a purchase, ABCs of Community Assets offers accessible, hands-on guidance.
