Communities Matter Annual Conference
The 2010 annual Community Matters conference, sponsored by The Social Investment Business, will take an honest look at the future of community action, examining the changes taking place in the way communities organise and act. The conference will examine how Community Matters, through its members and staff, can face the challenges ahead brought about by Britain's new political structure.
The conference will focus on establishing and promoting:
- Stronger bonds between neighbours, where inclusive relationships build trust and mutual support and create communities in which everyone is valued
- Stronger bonds between all communities, where diverse relationships are strengthened and fear, mistrust and social breakdown are prevented
- Active and enterprising neighbourhoods, where local people come together to participate and work in partnership to contribute to a vibrant community life
- Self help, where people can work with business, government and others to find their own solutions to local problems
- Space for open debate, where local people's voices can be heard and their opinions valued
- Community identity, where local people have a sense of belonging and pride in their neighbourhood
