We know that flourishing communities and good work sits at the heart of good lives and wealthy societies.

At the start of the digital revolution, in the 1970s, there was an expectation that people and places could transition to a new economy. Today we are reaping the grim rewards in terms of social deprivation and unbalanced economies.

Levelling Up is an acknowledgement that transitions must be managed. But how? It will not be enough to expand the number of ‘crap’ jobs, or to create economic opportunity that does not further the green transition. It will not be enough to pour money into projects and deals that do not add up to a coherent local strategy. Instead we require a new set of institutions, new relationships and socio-economic norms that can bridge the now perilous chasms in our society and enable each and every one to flourish.

Our two speakers, Hilary Cottam & Jason Stockwood, will discuss how we can help create a new narrative of civic entrepreneurship, good work and community flourishing in Grimsby.
