Our learnings from this report

While persistent challenges remain, we know from wider evidence that the Empowering Places programme has had an undeniably life-changing impact on the people that have been involved in the programme. It has helped provide new opportunities in response to community need, offered local jobs and local services through new community businesses, and rebalanced power by putting people at the heart of local decision making. Our evidence shows the impact demonstrated through this research can be achieved by putting local communities in charge; flexible and longer-term funding; appropriate funding alongside capacity support; and providing spaces and time for people to connection.
