Dorset Health Inequalities Webinar – Building resilience in Dorset’s communities: the role of Community Wealth Building

Loading Events

What if Dorset could transform the local economy to give better public health outcomes?

Imagine the impacts of shifting procurement patterns of our local organisations towards locally owned, pro-social businesses and social enterprises?

In this webinar Jay Tompt will share insights and learnings around how we can increase economic self-reliance and resilience within our local economy. There are proven ways of supporting economic change through a community wealth building approach which can help us tackle some of our big issues: social care provision and local inequalities for starters. Come and learn how others have done this and discuss with colleagues how we might do similar in Dorset.

Jay is co-founder of Local Spark in Torbay which works with members of all communities to start up and support businesses for good, build productive networks of enterprises and non-profit organisations, and engage large anchor institutions to unlock their transformative potential. Formerly a Silicon Valley ‘green business’ entrepreneur, he is currently a lecturer on Schumacher College’s masters programme in Regenerative Economics.
