Local Alchemy is a new and flexible way for residents, businesses, voluntary agencies and the public sector to work together to reverse economic decline and reinvent their local economy.
Designed by nef in partnership with the east midlands development agency, Local Alchemy is a two-year process that works by bringing people from all sectors together to share ideas, decide goals and implement a Local Alchemy Action Plan.
Communities select activities from the Local Alchemy Toolkit such as workshops, events, surveys and games. These change the way people think about their local economy, focus on local assets and resources, and inspire new initiatives. The activities use our Enterprising Communities Framework to increase understanding of how the local economy works. Throughout the process, a Local Alchemy Coach provides ongoing support and facilitation.
Four pilot Local Alchemy projects are already underway in the East Midlands and more are in development.
