How can community power make Britain a more equal place?
We’re about to find out from @ErinmaBell @Jaiden_Corfield @Vibrant_Socks @shutcake 🌟 #StrongerThings
⚡️@joesarling asks our audience what inequality means to them…
“Twenty years ago I never would have identified as a community activist because I thought they were just troublemakers…the I realised I do make trouble - necessary trouble”
⚡️@ErinmaBell on being persistent and taking action in Moss Side #StrongerThings
“Daring to step out of your comfort zone and ask those difficult questions”
Fantastic to hear @ErinmaBell’s experience of building and bridging social capital #StrongerThings
“Having the permission to get angry, get even more angry and then be part of the solution”
The hugely inspiring @Jaiden_Corfield on leading with young people #StrongerThings
“It’s not enough to draw attention to the problem, it’s about enabling people to coproduce the solutions”
“If you’re in a position to make a difference, it’s important to keep the door open” 👏

💬 @joesarling asks @Vibrant_Socks about tackling inequalities in East Ayrshire:
“It’s brilliant to be talking, but I believe in action.”
“There is risk associated with change but the bigger risk is people not being heard”
