Robert Owen Day 16th May 2026 online event The transformation of a declining High Street: co-operative solutions’ 

At our fifth Robert Owen Day, we explore Community Wealth Building through 3 real-world case studies. Learning how we move from decline to renewal and revitalise our communities. Registration here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-transformation-of-a-declining-high-street-co-operative-solutions-tickets-1985667971355

A theme prompted by https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/jan/11/uk-high-streets-reform-shops-closing-hope  which argues the emptying of high streets has reached a crisis point, with hundreds of shops closing, including major brands, and notes the political implications of this decline. You are welcome to join us.
