We all face growing pressures from local to global levels: including service cuts, food costs, and climate change.

The skills of personal and community resilience could help mainstream society sustain its wellbeing despite such pressures, and could enable wider engagement with big issues like climate change.

This round table brings together three pioneers in this field, and invites you to join the discussion.

Alan Heeks has many years’ experience of leading groups and projects exploring resilience, and leads the Enjoying your Future project. See more at www.living-organically.com
