Description

Description (EN):

The Unlocking Social and Economic Innovation Together (USE-IT) project is a unique model of economic development that is inclusive and results in lasting urban regeneration. It works by unlocking macro-assets and connecting them with micro-assets in communities building community resilience and connecting people to local resources. USE-IT Transfer Network will look to analyse the key elements of the UIA Practice and seek to apply it to the unique conditions in participating cities.

Achievements (EN):

The impact and results: Due to the large and complex partnership, the communication and information flow between the partners has been a challenge. The Partnership needed time to build trust between the larger and the locally based third sector organisations to enable equitable working relationship. This also demanded a “cultural change” in the larger organisations and a change of the way they worked (change in institutional processes). So far, the main results are 250 migrants with medical skills that are connected with job opportunities in the new hospital, five new consortia of social enterprises, 1 new network of social entrepreneurs, 36 new and 39 established enterprises supported, £240,000 brought into the locality by supporting local organisations to access grants and new contracts, as well as 85 individuals completing ‘Community Research Training’, implementing 24 community research projects and more than £ 300k secured for future work.
