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 were excited to announce that Restitch would return in March, 2024. This time in Coventry’s remarkable Cathedral Quarter.

For 2024, Create Streets and Onward were 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.

The Restitch summit brought together key thinkers, practitioners, local leaders and everyday citizens to discuss the biggest issues facing people, places and our collective paths to prosperity.

"There are so many highlights, in fact it was a blaze of glory! Inspiring a determination in me to carry on. Meeting old friends and making new, a wonderful diverse mix of people to hear from. All respecting the desire to disagree better and perhaps moderating your view after listening to a debate. All within the glorious settings of St Mary's Guildhall and Drapers Hall."

"I thought 2022 was good but this felt even better. Such rich conversations, great atmosphere and I learned such a lot."

“As a veteran of industry conferences, I want to say congratulations for such a great event. I actually left inspired and feeling positive for the first time in a long time. The speakers were almost universally frank, open and without marketing-speak.Thank you for including me.”

“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"
