What does the future hold? Key Elements from the National Picture Annemarie Naylor, Development Trusts Association, Asset Programmes Manager

 

As a key element of the Government's empowerment agenda, community asset transfer is about enabling local people to take a lead in local neighbourhoods and services. Essential to this, is the development of effective partnerships and mutual respect between local authorities and third sector organisations.

The Advancing Assets and Community Assets Programmes have supported forward thinking local authorities and their dynamic third sector partners to work together and transfer a number of exciting property assets across the country.

Objectives of the conference:

Through these conferences we will identify the key elements for building these effective relationships and how we can demonstrate the value of community asset transfer clearly and objectively.

These conferences will explore:

  • what makes a good partnership
  • how can we measure and demonstrate success
  • the future challenges to taking forward asset transfer

The conferences will be highly participative - allowing delegates the opportunity to share best practice, explore what has worked and what has not and learn from each other. The programme for the day will include inspiring case study examples of existing community asset transfers. To view the conference programme please select the link at the bottom of this page.
