Revolution in Community. Why? How? NOW!

30 May 2004

The 2004 Communities in Control conference sought to kickstart a discussion in the community sector about the need for swift and radical change.

Delegates were asked to consider:

  • Why a revolution is essential
  • How to transform communities
  • The reasons it has to be NOW

Community groups are the most important social assets in our society. Communities in Control 2004 focused our attention on how innovation and creativity could be harnessed to help deliver practical solutions.
