Overall aim

• Highlight community stories of change

• Celebrate and accelerate community leadership

Description

Join community leaders and Corra staff for a lively session that will shine a light on community organisations making a difference in their community and shares long-term learning from the Getting Alongside Communities programme, including what helps and hinders community leadership.

The session will offer a mix of inspiring community stories, ideas and discussion…bring your curiosity and questions!

Corra’s Getting Alongside Communities is a ten-year programme that has been working alongside local people and partners since 2015. During this time community participation, confidence, ambition and action have increased – supporting the development of cross-community networks, strategic partnerships with local and national government, and establishing community leadership and infrastructure.

As the programme moves towards a planned transition to community leadership in March 2026, you’ll hear from community leaders about their experience of delivering positive change and reflections from Corra on the long-term learning from this work, to help catalyse and sustain community leadership.
