Locality Convention ’25
Anfield Football Club, Liverpool, 12-13 November 2025
Locality Convention is for everyone who believes in the power of community.
The conference attracts hundreds of leaders of community organisations from across England and the UK, whose ambitious work helps their local communities thrive. It brings them together with experts, policy-makers, thinkers and doers, so they can connect with peers, get expert advice and leave inspired to do more.
This year Locality is partnering with The International Federation of Settlements and Neighbourhood Centres (IFS), a global movement of more than 11,000 organisations, to run an international Locality Convention attracting hundreds of community organisations from across the UK and more from across the world.
