The session will explore the positive economic and social benefits of communities taking power and highlight examples of how this is happening in different communities across England, including community business, resident-led regeneration and community-led health and well being. It will identify a number of barriers to more communities exercising power, from policy to finance to the capacity of communities themselves.
