Community Housing Conversations was a community housing information event held at Heartlands in Redruth on the afternoon and evening of Wednesday 19th April 2023. It was hosted by CALC and organised jointly with Coastline Housing in association with Ocean Housing. We are also grateful for the support and involvement of a wide spectrum of key players in the community housing sector across Cornwall, as speakers, exhibitors and workshop conveners.

The event was attended by around 100 participants including 80 delegates from around 40 or so local town and parish councils. It was aimed primarily at providing practical community housing information and networking opportunities for town and parish Councillors. The theme of conversations was explored through lively presentations, workshops and exhibitor stands. CALC is extremely grateful to everyone who took part and supported this very successful event which has had overwhelmingly positive feedback.

CALC Acting Chair Stuart Roden introduced the event.
