Community Wealth Building (CWB) Opportunities for Regional Collaboration and Place Based Research and KE Online
Community Wealth Building (CWB) is a people-centred approach to local economic
development, designed to harness the economic leverage of local ‘anchor’
organisations (such as local councils, health, universities, colleges, or large local
private sector employers) to tackle long standing systematic challenges and
structural inequalities within our communities. CWB is major theme in the new East
Lothian Local Economy Strategy. QMU, alongside other regional partners, has
become a signatory to the East Lothian CWB Anchor Charter Statement, to deliver
long-term collaboration and positively shape and drive academic engagement
with Edinburgh Innovation Hub and wider place-based research and knowledge
exchange initiatives.
QMU staff are invited to this introductory session with the East Lothian Council
Economic Development CWB Officer to find out what CWB means for QMU as an
anchor institution and opportunities for collaboration and place-based initiatives
and funding.
Facilitator: Angela Lamont, Community Wealth Building Officer Economic Development
