SUMMARY:FLIPIM 2025 - Flipping conversations on homes and highstreets
DESCRIPTION:About this event \nOn 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. \nWhy now? Because big questions need broad perspectives: \nHow can we deliver 1.5 million new homes before the end of this Parliament and empower community solutions?\nWhat will it take to reverse high-street decline and future-proof our places amid rapid technological change? \nThis 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. \nTickets will include refreshments & food. \nPlease note: the Access Bursary ticket requires an application process.
