Catch up on a webinar on Harnessing Community Asset Transfer, produced in partnership with Cooperative Council Innovation Network on Thursday 1st July.
Effective use of community assets is critical to a well-functioning place and strong, resilient communities. But transferring assets to communities is not always easy, even when you know it is the right solution.
The Co-operative Councils’ Innovation Network (CCIN)'s latest report – Beyond Asset Transfer – which seeks to demystify the process and encourage more councils to be bold in their plans for community assets. The free webinar gives participants the chance to think through the opportunities around asset transfer in their area.
