Our next learning session is now open for registrations… Accessing Place Based Capital. We’d love to see you there.

This session explores practical and effective ways for communities and local organisations to better access the resources they need. We’ll introduce a place based, community-centred approach to accessing capital—one that strengthens local control, economic self-reliance, resilience, and long-term prosperity.

You’ll gain an understanding of existing local capital sources and how to prioritise and activate them, making them more accessible when needed. You’ll discover practical ways to connect those with capital to those who need it, so that they can bring their venture, initiative or project to life. We’ll introduce key concepts, foundational strategies, and examples of structures, vehicles and institutions that can make accessing capital more inclusive, equitable, and aligned with local needs and priorities.

This session is tailored for a broad audience and provides valuable introductory insights that apply across different sectors:
– Community Leaders and Members – Learn how creating a place based capital system that enables local access to capital, generate new opportunities, strengthen your neighbourhood and meet local priorities.
– Community organisations – Discover practical strategies to access place based capital to drive community-led initiatives and long-term impact.
