A huge thank you to everyone who came along to the ‘Tourism: Our Voice’ conference yesterday.
It was great to see so many people from across the country sharing bold and inspiring ideas on how we can make the visitor economy more inclusive and equitable.

Tourism shapes communities, fuels economies, and defines destinations—but how can it truly serve the people who call these places home?

Great to attend the @jrf_uk sponsored session on #CommunityWealthBuilding at the @YorkFestofIdeas today. So good hearing how the need for economic transformation is a growing movement now entering the mainstream.
Good Organisation retweeted
I'm giving five talks in the next week (!). The first of these will be on Community Wealth Building, as part of this excellent @jrf_uk event in York on 'Reimagining Wealth', alongside a great group of other speakers, as part of the @YorkFestofIdeas

We’ve been in York today hearing from @LivedInsights @GoodOrgCIC @CLYork4 and others, about this fascinating collaborative work to put people’s direct experiences at the centre of conversation and change.
Come to our launch next Friday afternoon. We have been working with @GoodOrgCIC, @LivedInsights and @OutsideInYork to create a platform for the people with complex needs in York to share their experiences of navigating the city's services. Have a snack and listen to the stories!
ALT Poster advertising an event launch with logos of Good Organisation, LIFE, Community Links on the top of the page. “Sitting in a library, nothing to do, didn’t know how to live on the streets, just walking the streets” Community Links and LIFE (Lived Insights from Experience) would like to invite you to a launch to present a collaboration that captures people's direct experience of community support and services in York. In listening, we heard from people with direct experience about the broad and complex character of support services. By hearing the whole story, we have started to piece together how a person’s life is impacted by the interplay of support and services. Alongside LIFE and Community Links, Outside Influence, Good Organisation (Social Ventures) and Coterminous will be available to talk about collaborations that are effecting positive change for marginalised and otherwise excluded people in our city. Location - SPARK York Date – Friday 12th April 2024 Time – 12:30 to 2pm

Great to be at Festival of Ideas in #York with Kenny from @GoodOrgCIC We need to buy a table covering with our logo on. How good are they? Love the postcards from the edge as well. Come say hi. #SocialEnterprise

York (UK): The majority of the 'public spaces' in the city are actually privately owned/leased. Local residents + @CommunityYoco have developed an alternative model built around community owned public space 👇
We've been having conversations at @CommunityYoco events about public space and community ownership, so here's a blog that connects these current conversations back to the @MyYorkCentral public engagement and the public vision which came out of it - yoco.uk/blog/public-space-an…
