Brief update on the Sheffield group
presenter: Peter Verity, coordinator of the Sheffield group of Positive Money supporters
Peter showed a few slides to illustrate how the local group has attempted to ATTRACT and INFORM understanding-seekers during 2014.
Are we attracting and informing as well as we could? Is there anything new we should be doing (and anyone to do it?)
New Year, new challenges
presenter: Dora Meade, national network coordinator
Dora then gave the main talk, beginning with the questions "how did you come to care?" or "why did you come this evening?"
Those present introduced themselves, and entered discussion. There was interaction throughout Dora's talk, and in the brainstorming session at the end. For clarity in what follows, audience contributions are in italics.
- Dora explained the origins of Positive Money, and explained how 97% of money is created. Lending is principally to the housing (40%) and financial (37%) sectors
- We are trying to mobilise people around quite a complex issue. Only 1 in 10 MPs know the reality of where money comes from
