Panel of Brilliant People presentation

In this recorded session, the Towns Fund’s ‘Panel of Brilliant People’ presented its findings to ministers, officials, and dignitaries at Westminster.

The panel was made up of young people from a diverse range of backgrounds, and towns right across the country – from Cumbria to Kent, Devon to Yorkshire and many places in between.

Led by Kate Willard OBE – TFDP Senior Advisor, business leader and Government-appointed chair to high-profile commissions – the panellists have used their personal and professional experiences as well as findings from interviews with Town Deal Chairs to inform a set of recommendations for how levelling up can work for everyone.
