We’re excited to share something we’ve been working on!
It’s called FLIPIM and we think it’s right up your [high] street.
On Friday 26th September, Make CIC and Future Yard CIC are hosting a day of conversation focused on two vital, connected topics: housing and high streets. Too often, the people doing the real work on the ground aren’t included in high-profile events. We’re flipping that script; bringing together doers, experts, policymakers, and community voices to shape the conversation.
Why now? Because big questions need broad perspectives:
• How can we deliver 1.5 million new homes before the end of this Parliament and empower community solutions?
• What will it take to reverse high-street decline and future-proof our places amid rapid technological change?
This event will be a space to listen, share, debate, and co-create ideas. We’ll gather insights found in presentations, workshops, panels, and discussions from across the day, into a response that we plan to present to the Labour Party Conference the following week.
Tickets & Access:
We intend for the event to be somewhat funded by partners who align with our ambitions for FLIPIM (know any? Let us know!) as well as low-cost ticket sales. We’re committed to making it accessible for individuals and organisations with limited budgets—and we’re actively seeking sponsors to help cover access tickets and potentially small bursaries to ensure a variety and representation of involvement. More details on this soon.
If you’re passionate about collaborative solutions for how Britain can once again be a nation of shopkeepers and a nation of house builders then mark your calendar for a full day in Birkenhead on Friday 26th September.
We’ll share full details by the start of August!
