Doing Social Change Differently through Community Ownership. A research collaboration between Cheshire West & Chester Council and Keele University - Laying the groundwork for a 'Routes out of Poverty' Community-based learning programme for unlocking community wealth and community ownership.
Cheshire West and Chester Council, in partnership with Keele and Chester universities, delivered a pioneering social learning initiative aimed at unlocking community wealth and ownership among low-income communities.
Through a series of co-produced workshops, the project empowered residents with lived experience of poverty to explore innovative, community-driven responses to the economic impacts of COVID-19, fostering collaboration, resilience, and local leadership.
