Preston has been chosen to host a convention that aims to give people with good ideas about how to improve life in their Northern communities the power to put them into practice.“This is the North” will arrive in the city on 29th November for a two-day event which its organisers hope will inspire grassroots groups and individuals – and provide a platform for them to learn from each other about what they can achieve.
“It’s an opportunity to hear exciting things that are happening in the North, to hear new ideas…and engage with people who want things to be better. While the focus is very much on ordinary citizens, politicians from across the North will also be there in numbers – an acknowledgement of their role in making the ideas of their residents a reality. However, Ruth says the environment will be an “equitable” one, in which people “collaborate to come up with solutions together”.
“The North faces challenges, but it’s also got a huge amount of really innovative practice and activism – and the people of the North have the answers to those problems. “[The city’s] mission is to be a leading example of community wealth building with the ‘Preston Model’ – and that very much sits with our focus around developing progressive models and enabling communities to have a say in the decisions that affect their lives.”
“No matter where we are in the North, we are often a long way from power and a long way from affecting decisions that are made about our lives.
