Taking forward the Thriving Places approach
Location: The Lighthouse, Glasgow, G1 3NU
View mapAbout this event
As work gets underway on the Thriving Places element of the new Single Outcome Agreement for Glasgow, GCPH in collaboration with Glasgow Community Planning Partnership held a seminar to share information and evidence of what works (and what does not) regarding community engagement, community development and/or developing assets to address persistent inequalities and create more resilient, sustainable communities.
This event created a learning environment by showcasing examples of good practice from around the UK, including presentations from Newcastle, Preston, Warrington, Stoke-on-Trent and Glasgow.
