VOCAL CYPF

An Inclusive Economy For All

VOCAL Inclusive Communities Forum aims to reduce poverty and inequalities within the City of Salford, and will bring together a wide range of VCSE groups. The Forum will focus on the following over the year

  • Unemployment, work and skills
  • Housing & Homelessness
  • Poverty and Inequalities

Centre for Local Economic Strategies (CLES) have begun work in Salford to develop a more inclusive local economy through a new approach to economic development, ‘local wealth building’. In so doing, the Council joins a progressive movement of local authorities using this approach from Barcelona and Bologna, to Preston and Kirklees.

“Local Wealth Building” aims to reorganise the local economy so that wealth is broadly held, by local people, with local roots, and where benefits are recirculated into the community. The local wealth building movement, of which CLES are at the forefront, seeks to provide resilience where there is risk, local economic security where there is precarity, and to ensure local opportunity, for all. 

The first meeting of the Forum is your opportunity to find out more about “Local Wealth Building” and to shape the priorities that will go into Salford’s Inclusive Economic Strategy.
