Building social capital in neighbourhoods

Life is a post code lottery; the places where we are born, raised and live impact individuals profoundly. And it is at the neighbourhood level where inequalities in outcomes are manifest, and big national challenges play out, from the cost of living to climate change. It is also at the neighbourhood level where strategies and action to tackle these disparities and address these challenges are needed.

Social capital is the secret sauce in any place-based regeneration programme – but it is often the missing ingredient. This session will look at the importance of building social capital at the hyper-local level – exploring the role of councils, other public sector place partners and voluntary and community organisations.
