Thank you, Neil! You are welcome to stop by our office and talk #communitywealthbuilding anytime! And we'll take all the Joe Guinan books he's got. Lots of work ahead of us!
Great seeing Grace Blakeley and Lisa Nandy agree the merits of the #PrestonModel and #CommunityWealthBuilding on #bbcqt tonight.
For Preston Labour it is our way of taking back control to benefit our communities and empower working people.

...and the ministerial positions have now had #CommunityWealthBuilding removed too. Very disappointing given the positive evidence emerging of its impacts on health doi.org/10.1016/S2468-…
To advance #communitywealthbuilding is a key act of economic control. It can help neighbourhoods, towns, cities and nations tl build an economy that genuinely works in interests of citizens. To ignore means one is prepared to accept no control and lack of independence.
Yes. More local and community ownership is key. Alongside enlightened stewardship. #communitywealthbuilding . This is pressing given the burgeoning renewable energy 'wind rush' and Scotland as a carbon offsetting sink.
I'm looking forward to speaking at the TSI Scotland Network #buildingourfuturetogether conference later on behalf of (CLES) Centre for Local Economic Strategies talking about #communitywealthbuilding in Scotland.
After 5 days in Canada- Victoria and Vancouver, I'm now off to Cleveland OH. #communitywealthbuilding Like this colour pallet from looking west. #BritishColumbia
In last week I have met, shared and learned about #communitywealthbuilding activities in Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, Cleveland , Scotland and South Korea. The movement for economic system change and an economy that works for people, place and planet grows.
#communitywealthbuilding is a model and proven powerful practice designed to change the economic system. Ensuring:
-Re/predistribution of wealth
-Democratic ownership
-Decarbonisation
I meet the best community wealth builders in many places across the world. This growing set of folks from politics, policy, strategy, business or community have a common mission. To change the economic system that fails to deliber for people or planet. #communitywealthbuilding
Excellent and informative meet with Cleveland Owns. They are doing some really important #communitywealthbuilding work. Their work deserves to grow and grow.

When a progressive system change movement like #communitywealthbuilding grows, there are those who wish to dilute it. Timid in face of wealth and power they say CWB is just local economic development. Downplaying the system change, economic democracy and social justice.
#communitywealthbuilding can start as a cooperative or as a place based revitalization strategy. But those are just the beginnings - the entry points. CWB is more a model and practice for economic system change delivering an economy that works for people, place and planet!
