Join us online for a discussion of community involvement, and prospects for community wealth building in coastal communities across the north of England.

From Scarborough to Morecambe, from Southport to Whitley Bay, some of the same issues crop up time and again.

We’re joined by an expert panel for an hour webinar on the prospects for community participation and regional inequalities in seaside towns and across coastal regions.

Our invited speakers include:

  • Ruth Hannan, CEO of People's Powerhouse
  • Simon Cartmell, secretary of Blackpool Centre For the Unemployed
  • Ben Cooper, senior researcher at the Fabian Society
  • Elena Jackson, co-founder of the Vintage by the Sea festival in Morecambe
  • Rachel Fitzgerald, CEO of Southport Business Improvement District
