Dott Cornwall is a social enterprise promoting change through design and innovation. The Fulbright Scholars came to visit us and this is what we said...
How can the spaces attract people from different backgrounds to feel more connected? How can the spaces help people develop & test activities that are rooted in the strengths & needs of neighbourhood? How can the spaces encourage organisations to collaborate around common causes and create social value for the neighbourhood?
With 8 local authorities we're helping think about involving citizens in the shaping up public parks.

How do you make a Citizens Action Network (CAN)? - The Alternative UKwww.patkane.global
These slides are part of The Alternative UK's 2020 presentation on Citizens Action Networks - their definition, their tools, and the methods and stages of their assembly. For more, visit www.thealternative.org.uk
We brought people together to develop our strategy Camden 2025 as a vision for the future but also a call to action. We developed the strategy with residents through our citizens assemblies and with anchor institutions that care about the borough through our community challenges.
The climate crisis is an issue that affects all of us and that we all have a role to play as individuals and as organisations. We developed a Citizens’ Assembly on the Climate Crisis which is was the first organised in the country. This brought together over 50 randomly selected residents to deliberate how Camden can best tackle the climate crisis. The assembly heard a range of evidence outlining the facts of the climate crisis and the ways in which it can be tackled. They then developed 17 actions that should be taken by residents, community groups, businesses and the council in Camden. And of one those was “mobilising community groups to address the climate crisis”.
That’s why we’re hosting a space where people will be able to take part in, develop & grow activities to help people live more sustainably…and tackle the climate crisis. As we’re in a climate emergency, we gave ourselves a fortnight to set it up and six weeks to test out, a way that we’re moving from building services to building movements. And when I say we, I don’t mean the council, I mean different individuals from different walks of live who care about Camden and the climate crisis.
Discover a programme that brings together students, entrepreneurs & community groups to develop creative solutions to local challenges.
We help train students to co-design solutions from uncovering local needs with the community to working with them to develop projects that can be taken forward.
We evaluate the insights and impact of the needs & solutions to help public services better understand how to support communities to help each other & use technology.

Putting people at the heart of everything we do is a key strategic principle for Newham Council. It is committed to better involving residents because working together with our communities achieves better services and outcomes and makes the borough a happier and healthier place to live.
We set up a Democracy and Civic Participation Commission in 2020 to enable democracy in the borough to become more representative and participatory and to look at alternative governance models for the council.
We established the UK’s first permanent citizens assembly and one of the country’s largest participatory budgeting programmes to support our residents to be “policy makers” and “budget makers”
We also mobilised pioneering alliances to “co-produce” with residents and partners, setting Help Newham to mobilise staff and residents to provide emergency support during the pandemic, and the Newham Social Welfare Alliance which brings together frontline partners to support residents at risk of crisis.
We set up Health Champions to engage residents to protect themselves from Covid, now leading a national network, and are training residents to carry out research in their communities as part of the UK’s first longitudinal programme through community-led research.

4. How can we harness the creativity and ingenuity of allthe people?
5. “Don’t hold back. Be innovative, be radical, challenge the way things are done.” David Cameron, 24 June 2010
8. “We want to give citizens, communities and local government the power and information they need to come together, solve the problems they face and build the Britain they want.” Building the Big Society, May 2010
17. where communities work with professional designers “All in all I and the residents I have spoken to, found it to be a very positive, empowering experience” Claire Arymar – Neighbourhood Manager
In fact, asking ‘how many designers we need to change the world’ is a bit like asking ‘how many electricians do you need to change a light bulb’

That’s all very well you might say, but how, how do you deliver big society…made real?We catalyse change. Rather than orthopedics, we are more like acupuncture…tapping into the energy points.
