Join us at FLIPIM 2026: the Grassroots Regeneration Conference

September 24th 2026, Birkenhead

How can regeneration be shaped by communities, not done to them? This September, Make CIC’s grassroots regeneration conference FLIPIM returns to Birkenhead — bringing together community leaders, policymakers, organisers and practitioners.

You’ll hear from our cofounder Bex Trevalyan and many other speakers about practical ways communities and local partners are ensuring the future of our places can be built by those who live there, and how to leverage opportunities like Pride in Place.

Ahead of the conference, we’ve co-created a new interactive quiz with Make CIC exploring the legal and practical powers communities can use to unlock vacant buildings and local assets — from Community Right to Buy and High Street Rental Auctions to meanwhile use and Community Asset Transfers.
