Our response to #Budget24: "We welcome investment in health, housing, economic opportunities and local govt. But community organisations have faced multiple crises, increased demand and tighter budgets. Many will struggle with additional staffing costs without new income...

"Community organisations play a key role in driving economic development, providing services and bringing people together. We look forward to working with Government on specific investment and support so that community organisations can really help their neighbourhoods thrive."

Great to be Locality #Locality24 - Andy Burnham "it's a time that requires completely new thinking." Funding for community spaces like @The Ardagh in the UK are broken - new models are constantly being dev by community orgs but it's increasingly hard to balance the books

Big clap for Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham’s call for core funding for community organisations who know what their area needs. Also calls for devolved welfare budgets and a housing first approach. “If you start with place first you set the conditions for things to work” #Locality24

"Gov needs to trust community organisations & provide core funding to enable you to do what you do day in day out." *Spontaneous round of applause* Hope to get beyond silos - we have an opp to reimagine systems from bottom up **for people** 💡 #CommunitiesInControl #Reimagine

"If the government wants to see places thrive, it needs to be radical. Bottom-up, place-based regeneration does work..." - Jo Cooper Back on The Map #Locality24
