Join us for an inspiring and informative evening at the first Women in Enterprise Cross Party Group of 2024 where we will be discussing Community Wealth Building.This 1 hour session hosted via Zoom, is all about building a stronger community through entrepreneurship and empowerment and we are excited to bring together women from various backgrounds who share a common goal of creating positive change through business.

What is community wealth building? As defined by the Scottish Government, CWB is designed to harness the economic leverage of local ‘anchor’ organisations (such as local councils, health, colleges/universities, housing associations, or large local private sector employers) to tackle long standing systematic challenges and structural inequalities within communities. It seeks to transform the local and regional economic systems to enable more local communities and people to own, have a stake in, access and benefit from the wealth our economy generates. Community Wealth Building aims to deliver more and better jobs, business growth, community-owned assets and shorter supply chains creating greater resilience and supporting net zero ambitions.

In this CPG, you will have the opportunity hear from successful female entrepreneurs, and learn about the power of community wealth building. Our speakers will share their personal experiences and insights on how they have used their businesses to make a difference in their communities. You'll also have the chance to participate in interactive discussions and gain valuable knowledge on how you can contribute to building a more equitable society through enterprise.
