As the North West’s leading Philanthropy Hub the Community Foundations staged today the private meeting between the Mark Carney and corporately responsible business leaders in Liverpool on the topic of ‘today’s social investment foster’s tomorrow’s economic prosperity’ before Mark Carney delivered his Roscoe Lecture at the BT Convention Centre. 


Cathy Elliott, Chief Executive of the Community Foundations who chaired the meeting said “As economic and political changes take place the role of the Community Foundations is increasingly significant in order to support communities to be prosperous. Our role is about growing stronger communities together across sectors. We were delighted to have the opportunity to bring together those who are committed to communities for a very welcomed discussion with Mark Carney.”
