Flourishing Together
We can flourish together.
Building social capital and resilience
with services in our communities.
At Flourish Forums you will connect with providers of food, digital, transport, care, advice, housing and other community services. Together, in a time of rising costs, you will develop action plans to build resilience in your community.
Flourish Forums have been collaboratively designed with the Cittadellarte Foundation in Biella, Italy. Working on the principle that when two services come together a third, new, value arises.
Over two days we will form groups to explore opportunities to work together across services and communities to maximise our reach and impact. We will share meals, experiences and activities in an open and organically directed format (schedule).
Flourish Forums are sponsored by the Social Prosperity Network at the Institute for Global Prosperity, UCL. As part of our work on Universal Basic Services we want to explore the cascading benefits that arise at the intersections of community services.
Event Details
Let's flourish together, starting now!
Flourish Forums bring together local groups, voluntary sector, local government, and academia to shape our future community services. Each Forum creates local Action Plans for the coordinated delivery of basic services for food, care, digital, housing, transport, advice, and education.
Using the model of universally accessible basic services pioneered by UCL’s Institute for Global Prosperity, Flourish Forums aim to create local Action Plans that will be carried forward by Workshop groups formed at each Forum and report back after one year to the next Forum.
Flourish Forums will be held over two days in cities and regions around the UK in 2025. Each Forum will be hosted in a local community food facility and free to attend for representatives of local service delivery organisations. Here is a Forum Schedule.
