Welcome to the England Hub Forum, a place for everyone interested in WEAll England to share ideas and contribute to the discussion. Updates regarding England Hub meetings and activities will be posted here first!
Feel free to introduce yourself below (perhaps with a brief bio?)
The steering group can be emailed directly at 'England “at” WEAll. org ’
Hello there, a fellow imaginative for a better world here, glad to stumble across others and hopefully this movement will flower and grow from vision to materialization.
Hi James, glad you’re here! Don’t forget to sign up for email updates with the above form - the Hub steering group is still getting itself set up, but we have some big plans for later in the year
Hello! Hannah here, Head of Campaigns at Positive Money; a research & campaign organisation working to redesign our economic system for social justice and a liveable planet - https://positivemoney.org/
Hi Hannah, thanks for saying hello and sharing the link. I’ve had a quick look and will spend more time there soon. Is Positive Money already talking to WEAll Global? There are some early-stage plans for activities in the autumn I think, maybe there’s an opportunity for working together?
Hi Hannah, great to have you here! I’m part of the global team, based in Scotland, and as part of my role I support hubs across Europe including the new England hub.
I’ve recently returned from mat leave and I’ve actually been hoping to reconnect with Positive Money. I’d been in touch with Rachel Oliver in the past - but not sure she’s still around?
As Oliver says, we’re at the start of planning a week of action in September - it would be great to collaborate. I’m at lisa@weall.org - maybe we can have a quick catch up call, I’d love to hear about your plans for the year and think about ways we might be able to work together
Thanks Oliver! Just let me know if you have any questions. Positive Money has been a member of WEALL for quite a few years so excited to get involved in UK activities as they develop later this year
Hi Lisa, great to hear you’ll be getting involved with England hub!
Rachel sadly left last year so I’m our Head of Campaigns and rep for WEALL now, happy to have a call whenever suits to hear more about plans for autumn. My email is hannah.dewhirst@positivemoney.org.uk if you’d like to send over some available dates/times
Hello! I’m Si Chun and I lead the team at the West Midlands Combined Authority on a more deliberate and socially purposeful model of economic growth that is measured not only by how fast or aggressive it is; but also, by how well it is created and shared across the whole population and place, and by the social and environmental outcomes it realises for our people - see Inclusive Growth. Really pleased to see the creation of the new England hub and keen to learn and share what’s going on.
I also lead on the Economy of Francesco UK Hub which I’m trying to relaunch – as a platform for amplifying some of the voices of people working across the wellbeing economy space in the UK- see https://economyoffrancesco.uk - would be really keen if we can link to work of the Wellbeing Economy Alliance generally and of course of the work done by the WEAll hubs in England, Scotland and Wales more generally.
Hi @sichunlam it’s great to meet you, and thanks for sharing your work on the Together platform.
I’m part of the global WEAll team, based in Scotland, and part of my role is to support all our hubs across Europe. So I’d love to meet and chat about the work of our hubs, including the emerging England hub, as well as how we work with policymakers like you who are trying to drive change. Please drop me an email at lisa@weall.org and we can find a time to meet over zoom!
