Local Alchemy in Action

Local Alchemy results in:

Harnessing the dreams, passions and potential of people to create their own businesses and enterprises.
People understanding economics in a practical, down-to-earth way that informs the decisions they make.
A community educated about the importance of local wealth creation and dedicated to supporting its local entrepreneurs.
Increasing the effectiveness of local services and the impact of businesses so the local economy can thrive.
A better networked and connected community with private, public and community sectors working together.
Increased confidence and sense of self-reliance among the community as a whole. A move from dependence on external solutions to generating community action and fostering local visions.
Developing a 'can-do' attitude in the area.

Local Alchemy is has been piloted in thirteen communities across the East Midlands, supporting individuals and groups to reinvent their local economy. These are some of the stories from the people we have worked with.
