The DTNI 2025 Conference takes place at The Playhouse
A major conference in Derry next week will bring together community organisations, government and business to explore how community wealth building can help create a fairer economy.
The event will look at how a new economic model help create good jobs, build a more plural economy, and make better use of public assets to benefit communities.
Charlie Fisher, Chief Executive of Development Trusts NI (DTNI), said: “Community wealth building is about building a fairer economy and helping communities to thrive.
“It’s about people, businesses, government and public bodies working together to create good jobs, to build a plural economy, delivering on progressive procurement to make better use of public assets.
“It brings together community development trusts and associations as a ‘social cluster’ to help increase the community’s ability to attract investment, grants and debt, strengthen its business acumen, and work collectively to lead on regeneration and renewal and build a circular economy.
“Over the last 15 years DTNI has led on a new vision for this economic model that will make a real difference in people’s lives.
“This conference is a chance to hear from other countries on how they’ve moved this model forward.
“The conference will also explore practical ideas that will help local economies and how the social cluster model, of community wealth building partnerships can flourish.
