Place, Power and Community Forum
Connecting Experience, Building Action
Join community organisations and individuals in Glasgow for a collaborative networking and learning event focused on the practical realities of Community Ownership in urban Scotland.
Hosted at Kinning Park Complex, this event will explore key issues including the Community Empowerment (Scotland) Act, Asset Transfer Requests, the role of ALEOs (Arm’s Length External Organisations), and emerging challenges and opportunities identified by participants.
