It does this by working with local authorities and other ‘anchor institutions’ (such as the NHS\, higher education institutions and large private businesses) to influence how they spend\, procure and recruit so more benefits go to the places they are located within. In doing this\, it seeks to simplify delivery on the ground\, so we focus on jobs\, enterprise and community benefits. It requires work across boundaries\, and flexibility in systems to respond to local need. \nThe five core principles of Community Wealth Building are: progressive procurement; fair employment and just labour markets; shared ownership of the local economy; socially just use of land and property; and making financial power work for local places. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n

SUMMARY:Land Reuse Month 2022
DESCRIPTION:The Scottish Land Commission is hosting Land Reuse Month 2022 to explore how to support delivery of land reform in the public sector. Tackling vacant and derelict land is essential to quality place-making\, bringing numerous benefits to local authorities and communities.\n\nThe ways we own and use land shape the kind of economy\, climate and communities we live in. Land needs to be part of our economic thinking as we address recovery\, renewal and a just transition to net zero.

SUMMARY:A ‘How to’ Guide to Community Wealth Building Workshop Series: Part 4 and 5
DESCRIPTION:Designed for senior practitioners in local authorities\, regional economic partnerships and partners working in place-based economic development roles\, this series shares how to adopt a community wealth building approach\, through the development and use of existing investments and work areas. \n  \nBook your place here! \n  \nCommunity wealth building is a practical  and outcome focused approach to economic development that can help deliver on Scotland’s wellbeing economy and inclusive growth aspirations.  It does this by working with local authorities and other ‘anchor institutions’ (such as the NHS\, higher education institutions and large private businesses) to influence how they spend\, procure and recruit so more benefits go to the places they are located within. In doing this\, it seeks to simplify delivery on the ground\, so we focus on jobs\, enterprise and community benefits. It requires work across boundaries\, and flexibility in systems to respond to local need. \n  \n \nTraining will be delivered by international leaders in Community Wealth Building; the Centre for Local Economic Strategies (CLES). Across five sessions\, tutor\, Neil McInroy\, will share\, an introduction; the action plan process; and through showcasing action-based learning case studies\, will introduce examples of the five core principles of CWB – progressive procurement; fair employment and just labour markets; shared ownership of the local economy; socially just use of land and property; and making financial power work for local places. \n  \nPart 4: Community Wealth Building Powers: Inclusive Ownership and Socially Just Use of Land and Property – Wednesday 24 February (14:00-16:00)\nIn this penultimate session in the series\, we will introduce examples of the five core principles of community wealth building above. Through case studies\, this session will focus on: \n  \n\n  \nInclusive Ownership: Developing and growing more local and social organisations that are more financially generative\, relate more to communities and lock wealth into local places. This includes social enterprise\, community organisations\, cooperatives\, development trusts and municipal enterprises. \n  \nLand and Property: Maximising the value that local communities receive from land and property assets. Including extending community use-where public sector land and facilities are viewed as part of “the commons” i.e. land held by public institutions that is owned by everyone for the common good. \n  \n  \nAGENDA \n14:00 – 14:05     Introduction.

We will hear from Scotland’s community wealth building action-based learning examples on where they are and what’s next.  There is also plenty of time incorporated in this final session\, for questions\, discussion and a conversation on future training ideas. \nAGENDA \n14:00 – 14:05     Introduction.
