Brilliant panel discussing how devolution can help us tackle inequality, destitution, and disempowerment across the North. More democracy, new ways of working, and a rebuilding of our social safety net needed #thisisthenorth
Very excited to be at This Is The North Convention 2023 organised by The People's Powerhouse #thisisthenorth . Can Devolution liberate the North?
'The North's greatest asset = its people. The opportunities are in the communities that already exist. Work with them not for them' - some thoughts from panel chaired by Andy Burnham. The talent up North needs greater recognition! Northern Soul C.I.C. #ThisIsTheNorth
We had an amazing day at the The People's Powerhouse Conference 2023- ‘This is the North’.
The People’s Powerhouse want every northerner to be heard so they can influence the decisions that affect their lives.

I just knew that #ThisisTheNorth convention would lift me out of my autumn budget funk! Pretty instantly met a great bunch of women who reminded me to be excited about what’s strong and not what’s wrong! Feeling hopeful hearing about Preston’s #communitywealthbuilding strategy
I really enjoyed being on This is the North podcast where we discussed the culture and heritage of ‘The North’ and a host of regional topics.
