SUMMARY:What next for community leaders in the North East? With the Joseph Rowntree Foundation and Larger Us.
DESCRIPTION:What skills do community leaders need now? \nThis is the question we’ll be exploring together. \nVillages\, town and cities in the North East are going through social upheaval that is being propelled by loss. Locally\, people are watching the things they used to rely on slide away: industry\, jobs\, identity\, secure housing\, and civic pride. Nationally\, we’ve lost trust in our politicians\, the cost of living has soared and our waterways are polluted. Globally\, people are losing their lives and livelihoods to conflict and climate change. \nYou might even say we’re facing an apocalypse… \nWe tend to associate the word apocalypse with ‘ending’ but it actually means ‘revelation’  and so we’d like you to imagine with us about what a ‘good apocalypse’ in the North East might look like: What is being revealed to us right now? How might we use this moment to steer our communities towards a positive future? And what new tools do we need in our toolkit to do so? \nJoin us to think about what how we might: \n\nStop ourselves from burning out\nBridge divides in our community\nHelp people feel like they belong\nFace our losses together\nTell the kind of stories that inspire hope and action\n\nThis is an opportunity to think about what support you need as a community leader to face the challenges ahead. Together\, we’ll agree priorities and decide on practical next steps. \nYour hosts: \nVictoria Hughes and Darren Leighton of the Joseph Rowntree Foundation which is investing in programmes focused on transforming broken systems in the region. \nOur guests: \nAlex Evans and Claire Brown of Larger Us\, who use insights from psychology to support community leaders to bridge divides\, bring people together and build broad support for action on the biggest challenges we face. \nJRF is working with Larger Us to develop free training and support for community leaders in the North East and this is your opportunity to let Alex and Claire know directly what you’d find most helpful. \n  \nTo reserve your space\, www.tickettailor.com/events/largerus/2079549 \n  \nPlan for the day \n10.30am: Arrive\, grab a cuppa\, get settled. \n11am: Welcome from Victoria Hughes. \n11.15am: Lecture – ‘A Good Apocalypse in the North East?’ with Alex Evans. \n11.45am: Your thoughts\, comments and questions. \n12.15pm: Delicious lunch provided by REfUSE Cafe. \n1pm: Discussion in small groups about what support community leaders need now. \n2pm: Reflections and next steps. \n2.30pm: Informal final cuppa for anyone who wants to chat more. \n3pm: Close

SUMMARY:Taj Ali: Come What May\, We’re Here to Stay
DESCRIPTION:Journalist and historian Taj Ali joins us at Redhills to discuss his new book\, Come What May\, We’re Here to Stay: The Story of South Asian Resistance in Britain\, a history of generations who fought racism\, exploitation and injustice – and helped shape modern Britain. \nFrom anti-imperial activism and seafarers’ strikes to workplace struggles\, Asian youth movements and anti-racist organising\, Taj uncovers a radical history too often left out of the national story. He explores how South Asian activists built working-class solidarity across racial and religious divides\, and what those struggles can teach us about resisting division today. \nAt Redhills\, in the magnificent Grade II*-listed Pitmans Parliament – the historic home of the Durham miners – Taj will focus on the remarkable solidarity between South Asian communities and striking miners during 1984–85. South Asian activists raised money and food\, travelled to picket lines and built relationships through shared struggle. What can those experiences teach us about building working-class unity today? \nTaj Ali is a former editor of Tribune. He contributes to The Guardian and Al Jazeera English and regularly appears as a commentator on the BBC. In 2025 he founded Anti-Racist Radar and was a finalist for the 2026 Orwell Prize. \nCome What May\, We’re Here to Stay is published by Manchester University Press in September 2026. \nProduced with People’s Bookshop and Joseph Rowntree Foundation as part of Redhills Sundays. \nTickets are free\, but must be reserved. You can also purchase a ‘Ticket and Book’ for the RRP of the book. Taj will be available to sign copies of his book following the event.
