Restitch

THE SOCIAL FABRIC SUMMIT

Coventry, 7-8th March, 2024

Rebuilding neighbourhoods of people and places

Following the huge success of Restitch: The Social Fabric Summit 2022 in London and Halifax, Create Streets and Onward are excited to announce that Restitch will be returning in March, 2024. This time we are taking Restitch to Coventry’s remarkable Cathedral Quarter.

This year, Create Streets and Onward are joined by a new co-host: the centre-left think tank, Labour Together. Instrumental in bringing the Labour Party back from its wilderness years, Labour Together is now developing new ideas for a possible future Labour government. Community power and the importance of restitching social bonds will be essential to their story, and we are thrilled to have them join us as co-hosts of Restitch 2024.

We will be bringing together key thinkers, practitioners, local leaders and everyday citizens to discuss the biggest issues facing people, places and our collective paths to prosperity.

With planning for the programme underway, more information will be announced soon. Registration will open at a later date. Get in touch with laurengeorgia@createstreets.com or bel.guillaume@ukonward.com if you would like be involved with or support Restitch 2024

“This is the best conference that I have ever ever been to in 50 years”

“We heard from some of the world’s leading thinkers … and from a whole host of community leaders whose work is quietly repairing our fraying social fabric from the bottom up.”

“Bravo on this week’s master piece event. Tuesday’s summit was energetic and fast moving.”

“Fabulously interesting Restitch conference … I have been talking a lot about it”

“I was honoured to be part of this great project. Magical choice of venue and the weather held out which helps... Some very interesting subjects and debates, which gave food for thought. I go back to Cornwall with even more determination to ensure our great community in Nansledan goes from strength to strength.”

"It was my pleasure to speak at the Restitch event last month. It was so well organised, with a vibrant atmosphere and great audience of varied backgrounds, which really helped to bring to life how core levelling up is to all aspects of rebuilding our communities and made for a much richer conversation"
