Event SW15: Jenny Andersson – Centres For Life

Jenny Andersson returns to talk about her study for the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, how Centres For Life can help revitalise and regenerate places, followed by a collective exploration of the regenerative horizon for Chichester. Questions like what are Centres For Life and why are they important will be explored.

Jenny Andersson, of Really Regenerative CIC, returns to help us explore how Centres For Life can help revitalise, regenerate and renew vibrancy in urban and rural places. What are Centres For Life? Why are they important? What’s their role in shaping the future? How do they form? What do they look like? Do we have any in Chichester that can energise our culture, economy and ecology? All these questions and more will be explored.

Really Regenerative’s founder Jenny Andersson will give a short talk on Centres For Life from her published study for Joseph Rowntree Foundation – Enabling Conditions for Place-Based Community-Led Regeneration, followed by a collective exploration with attendees of what’s on the future regenerative horizon for Chichester. We’ll work in groups to explore key questions about the future. What Centres do we need, do we want and how can we bring them to life? What do we already have that we could build on? How ready are we in Chichester to bring these Centres to life; what strengths do we have, what’s missing from our capabilities, what are our best opportunities and what other projects could inspire us? How could such Centres be funded, financed and supported?

Join us for a vitalising exploration of how Centres For Life underpin the potential for regenerative futures in Chichester.
