She thinks outside the box and\u00a0 stretches other peoples thinking. I have just been sharing my day with [colleagues] and telling them how fantastic the workshop was. I would like to include the others from our team if possible onto your next planned workshop as its important that we can all learn as much as possible to benefit the people that we try and reach everyday within our jobs&#8217;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This was just some of the feedback from the first time we ran our &#8216;Engaging Communities in Enterprise&#8217; workshop.<\/p>\n<p>I am delighted to say that we\u00a0 plan to run it again in London on September 26th.\u00a0 You can find out more and book your place <a title=\"Engaing Communities in Enterprise Registration Site\" href=\"http:\/\/www.enterprisegrowth.co.uk\/event.cfm?eventid=300\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I run the event with Anne Sherriff.\u00a0 Anne has a strong background in regeneration, in particular community engagement, communications and marketing, and developing effective partnerships. She joined re\u2019new in 1996, having previously worked for Bradford City Challenge and before that the Community Development Foundation.<\/p>\n<p>Initially appointed to lead and co-ordinate Leeds\u2019 SRB2 funded East Bank regeneration programme, Anne\u2019s role with re\u2019new has developed to now encompass overall responsibility for all of the company\u2019s work throughout East Leeds as well as leading the development of renew\u2019s neighbourhood management and community activity. Anne also coordinates re\u2019new\u2019s corporate marketing and communications activity, and leads on the development of new business across the Leeds city region.<\/p>\n<p>The East Bank regeneration programme encompassed housing and environmental renewal, economic development and social and community development. Throughout, the ability to engage successfully with local residents was key to the success of the regeneration programme.<\/p>\n<p>Forming and sustaining effective partnerships \u2013 between agencies and with local communities &#8211; is fundamental to successful intervention at neighbourhood level. Anne developed and led the East Bank partnership and has subsequently coordinated the formation of the to&#8217;gether Partnership. This is a unique multi-agency approach to solving inner-city problems in east Leeds based on shared responsibility among public agencies and buy-in by local residents, including developing a &#8216;residents network&#8217; of local people who have endorsed the to\u2019gether Partnership, currently numbering over 1000 and still growing.<\/p>\n<p>Anne has been involved in community development and community engagement for nearly thirty years, as a practitioner, trainer and manager. Committed to developing innovative and effective solutions to local issues, and to \u2018joining up the dots\u2019 between disparate interventions and approaches, she is an effective and creative strategic leader whilst retaining a pragmatic approach to getting things done. Anne is an experienced Investment in Excellence facilitator committed to enhancing personal and professional development opportunities for those working in or with local communities.<\/p>\n<div class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Posts\"><ul class=\"entry-meta\"><li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Olympic Gold &#8211; It all starts with a dream&#8230;.\" href=\"http:\/\/realisedevelopment.net\/index.php\/2012\/08\/10\/olympic-gold-it-all-starts-with-a-dream\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Olympic Gold &#8211; It all starts with a dream&#8230;.<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"An imaginary open letter: To those who would &#8216;engage&#8217; us&#8230;\" href=\"http:\/\/realisedevelopment.net\/index.php\/2012\/08\/09\/an-imaginary-open-letter-to-those-who-would-engage-us\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">An imaginary open letter: To those who would &#8216;engage&#8217; us&#8230;<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Some thoughts on Best City outcomes\" href=\"http:\/\/realisedevelopment.net\/index.php\/2012\/07\/05\/some-thoughts-on-best-city-outcomes\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Some thoughts on Best City outcomes<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Some Barriers to Engagement\" href=\"http:\/\/realisedevelopment.net\/index.php\/2012\/06\/13\/some-barriers-to-engagement\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Some Barriers to Engagement<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Getting to Grips with Social Finance &#8211; FREE TRAINING\" href=\"http:\/\/realisedevelopment.net\/index.php\/2012\/06\/12\/getting-to-grips-with-social-finance-free-training\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Getting to Grips with Social Finance &#8211; FREE TRAINING<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8216;I just wanted to say thank you very much for the workshop, I thought it was absolutely brilliant and made me think on a deeper level of what community is all about.
