Building Community Wealth

Speakers: Natasha Almond, Helen Jones, Frances Northrop, Martin O’Neill and Ben Porter
Our interactive session, which is supported by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, explores the question ‘how can we reimagine our resources and civic assets for public and common benefit, fit for the times we are in?’
Together, we’ll discuss opportunities to support community wealth building and democratic participation to foster more equitable community-led economic approaches in York.
Our expert panel of speakers includes Frances Northrop, Head of Community Economic Power at the New Economics Foundation; Natasha Almond, Director of the Good Organisation; Martin O’Neill of the University of York’s Department of Philosophy, whose research focuses on moral and political philosophy; and Helen Jones and Ben Porter of the New Constellations York Crew, a group of York citizens and community leaders brought together to explore alternative futures for York.
