* THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED *
I will announce a new date (likely to be February 2006) in due course.
-----------------
I’m organising a UK national conference on neighbourhood governance, on behalf of Community Development Foundation. It will take place at the Kings Fund Centre, central London, 22 November 2005.
The event will be chaired by Carol Hayden, Associate Director, Shared Intelligence. Speakers include Charles Woodd from the Civil Renewal Unit of the Home Office, providing a government perspective on the community sector’s role in neighbourhood governance; and Susie Hay, regeneration and participation consultant, who will discuss the importance of informal networking at local level. We will be playing the neighbourhood governance game, devised by David Wilcox and Drew Mackie with a little help from yours truly. A research perspective will be provided by Paul Hilder from the Young Foundation and Paul Skidmore from Demos. A panel including representatives of local organisations will contribute to a discussion in the concluding session.
I’ll link to further information as soon as it becomes available, but please email Cheryl Roberts at CDF if you want to make sure you get that information directly.
Meantime, ODPM have just published a leaflet offering an introduction to the Why neighbourhoods matter discussion document that sparked it all off.
