Bristol Community Asset Transfer Conference

Bristol City Council is to host a Community Asset Transfer Conference in September. The aim of the conference is to introduce the new Community Asset Transfer (CAT) Policy and to inform, encourage and enthuse the people and organisations that manage community buildings in Bristol.

The conference will focus on how community assets can be used to empower communities and create lasting change in local neighbourhoods.

The event is aimed at all third sector organisations in Bristol and at in particular those who have their own premises or are looking to acquire a building.

Venue:  The conference will take place at the St Werburghs Centre, Horley Road, BS2 9TJ between 9.30am and 1.30pm on Thursday 23rd September.

It will be opened and chaired by Cllr Barbara Janke, the Leader of Bristol City Council, who will formally launch the new CAT Policy.

A guest speaker will deliver an interesting and captivating keynote address, after which there will be a choice of workshops, followed by a buffet lunch.

The conference is free, but places are strictly limited and pre-booking is essential. Please note that it may be necessary to limit the number of places per organisation, in order to achieve a mixed and balanced audience.
