Cormac Russell joins us for a practical, solutions-focused conversation on putting local people first, uncovering the hidden strengths of communities, and what it means for everyday places to lead — drawing on Asset-Based Community Development and real-world examples from across the North and beyond.

Sir Michael Marmot reflects on a lifetime of research into health inequalities and the social conditions that shape our lives. The conversation will explore how dignity, wellbeing and agency can be embedded into local and regional decision-making — and what gives hope when communities and places choose to do things differently.
