Connecting community wealth builders

Collaboration is at the heart of community wealth building, and the Centre of Excellence is a hub where individual people and places can connect and work together as a movement.

In community wealth building we are seeing the growth of a global movement of citizens, public, social and solidarity and private sector organisations. Working together these people and organisations are realising lasting change.

Community wealth building needs action from many people in different roles, but to be effective these people need to be working together.

We work across sectors, in villages, towns and cities and with politicians, business owners, employers, citizens, anchor institutions. We work to bring these people and places together to generate new ways of doing, share learning and to inspire, challenge and support each other.

How we connect community wealth builders
