Take Community Ownership

In this episode of the Carbon Copy Podcast, we explore how sharing ownership between many people enables communities to protect valuable buildings, businesses and green spaces for the good of all. Join hosts Isabelle Sparrow and Bradley Ingham as they discuss the challenges and the benefits of raising money through a community share offer; and how three initiatives: Jubilee Farm in Northern Ireland, SOS Frome in Somerset and Fordhall Farm in Shropshire did just that. Listen now to hear: How community ownership creates opportunities for people locally to affect positive change in their own area. What kinds of businesses and assets can be community owned and different ways to get involved. How raising funds with a share offer works and how community-owned organisations are managed. Top tips and advice from those with experience, and inspiration for anyone thinking of taking community ownership where they live! Full transcript available at: https://carboncopy.eco/podcasts/take-community-ownership------------------------------------ Show NotesFind out more about taking community ownership: https://carboncopy.eco/takeaction/take-community-ownership  Explore all 25 Big Local Actions: https://carboncopy.eco/takeaction       Listen back to previous episodes of the Carbon Copy Podcast: https://carboncopy.eco/podcast    Learn about the We’re Right Here campaign and hear more from Charlotte in our Lobby For Change episode: https://carboncopy.eco/podcasts/lobby-for-change  Learn more about community owned energy in our Generate Energy Locally episode: https://carboncopy.eco/podcasts/generate-energy-locally  Email your feedback to us: [email protected]  Read about Jubilee Farm: https://carboncopy.eco/initiatives/jubilee-farm  Read about SOS Frome: https://carboncopy.eco/initiatives/sos-frome  Read about Fordhall Farm: https://carboncopy.eco/initiatives/fordhall-farm  Find support from Plunkett UK: https://plunkett.co.uk/  Find support from Co-operatives UK: https://www.uk.coop/start-new-co-op/convert/what-community-buyout  Read about the Community Right to Buy: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/landmark-devolution-bill-brings-new-dawn-of-regional-power   Hosted on Acast.
