Community Catalysts recently held the ‘Passionate People Making a Positive Difference’ event online, which looked at the findings from a report from University of Birmingham discussing the case for investment in passionate people running community enterprises and community businesses.

You can read the original report here.

Through a series of interactive workshops, the events provided opportunities to:

• Learn about the positive effect passionate people have on local economies
• Hear from leading councils and commissioners about the systems and cultures that strengthen community resilience and help community enterprises flourish
• See how community enterprises and community businesses can fill in the gaps between services and how passionate people have been vital through the recent crisis
• Feel the passion from the people in our communities through their amazing stories and experiences. 

The event recordings are now available to watch on the Community Catalysts website.
