Event details

Join NEON for the first event in How We Win, a series exploring the practical strategies behind successful progressive campaigns. This instalment focuses on Buy Back Brixton, a landmark community ownership initiative centred on Brixton Village and Market Row.

Hear directly from the Brixton Traders & Community Association and The Advocacy Academy about how they mobilised traders, young people and local residents to emerge as the preferred buyer. The speakers will break down the organising, communications and strategy that transformed a local campaign into a national story, and share lessons on building community power and making compelling cases for change.

Key questions explored: How did diverse groups unite around a shared vision? What role does communication play in turning grassroots organising into public momentum? How can infrastructure organisations support community campaigns? Ideal for anyone interested in community organising, activism and the practical mechanics of winning campaigns.
