CTRLshift Programme including a session on diversifying CSAs

[Page Dykstra, CSA Network]

Hello,

I’ll be attending CTRLshift in Stoke on Trent on 8-10 May 2019 and will be running a session on CSAs and leading a discussion on how we can grow and diversify the CSA movement in the UK. I’ll be asking questions both about how we can help existing CSAs to reach new members, especially lower income individuals, and how we can encourage diverse communities to start their own CSA. If you have any experience with this in your own CSA or thoughts on the topic you’d like to share or that I could use as examples please get in touch.

There are also still tickets available for the event if you’d like to attend, details are in the email below. If anyone in the network is planning to be there please let me know, I’d love to have your contributions to the session on CSAs.

CTRLshift seeks to catalyse a network of change-making organisations, networks, and independent practitioners, creating a movement for positive social, economic and environmental change. We are developing a shared agenda to shift power over our democracy, economy and environment to people and communities across Britain.

Best,

Page
