Thank you for joining the #BigTent & @LocalTrust “No Place Like Home” event with chair Helen Nicol @BlueChula, @TobyLloyd, @tom_chance @community_land, Sue Hunter @DBL06640684 and @gtomlin. If you missed it, a replay will be available on the website soon: bigtent.org.uk/digital-replay…
At the #Bigtent & @LocalTrust “No Place Like Home” event, Sue Hunter, @DBL06640684, gives advice to communities looking to embark upon development projects: “I say to community groups, be brave, it’s hard, but if you can get there, it is a wonderful legacy for your community."
At the #Bigtent & @LocalTrust “No Place Like Home” event, @tobylloyd speaks to the challenges of introducing community-led housing policy in Gov: “The case for community housing is very difficult to make – it’s easy for community projects to fall foul of one test or another.”
At the #Bigtent & @LocalTrust “No Place Like Home” event, @gtomlin underlines the ideological principles behind community housing: “We need a rediscovery of the revolutionary idea that the primary focus of our love should be our neighbour.”
At the #Bigtent & @LocalTrust “No Place Like Home” event, @tom_chance, @community_land, speaks to the work the organisation is completing across the UK: “Communities up and down the country are just getting on with things despite Gov. and industry not knowing how to support it.”
At the #Bigtent & @LocalTrust “No Place Like Home” event, Helen Nicol, @BlueChula asks the speakers: “What role can communities play in developing resilient and affordable housing?”
🎪Join us & @LocalTrust TOMORROW 2pm Tues 30 Mar to discuss the role communities can play for resilient & affordable housing. Panel: 🏡@BlueChula 🏡@tobylloyd 🏡@tom_chance @community_land 🏡@DBL06640684 🏡@gtomlin Sign up now: bigtent.org.uk/event/no-place…
I'm proud to have had the opportunity to work with these wonderful people. They're fighting hard to protect residents from a nefarious landlord who has blighted many lives for many years. They're finally getting somewhere but need your help - please share & donate @peach_E16
New #socialjustice #documentary #film “#Gutted - A Borough Under Siege,” by @Oonaghco & @PEACH_E16 is out NOW! #WATCH! It details trauma of being forced by @Mearsgroup to live with #dirtywater #asbestos & raw #sewage. vimeo.com/436511659 #CustomHouse #CanningTown #London #E16
⚖️Thanks to everyone who came to our session and made it such a lively debate about shifting the power dynamics between local councils and communities at today's #StrongerThings conference @NLGNthinktank #communitypower #BigLocal @GrangeBL
Thank you for all the people at the @NLGNthinktank #StrongerThings conference today who came and spoke with us on the nitty gritty of shifting power.. #opportunities #obstacles hope you all enjoyed the discussions as much as we did #localgov #BigLocal #BetterTogether
A Council that says it’s concerned about lonliness; while charging local community groups rent for using Municipal buildings, is all at once talking out of both sides of it’s mouth & scoring an own goal. It’s yet another unintended consequence of siloed approaches to #localgov
How can we support communities to ensure they don't lose out from regeneration projects happening in their area? Listen to what @BlueChula, @iglooRegen and residents from Welsh House Farm and @PEACH_E16 - among others - have to say in this podcast: 🎧👉bit.ly/3ciw24N
@Ellzmum @welshhousefarm @PEACH_E16 @chrisigloo @SO18BigLocal @northfleetbl Thanks 😁 You too!
Great podcast from the launch of the #developingpotential report and community guide. Passion, knowledge, insight and some great ideas on how communities can gain from #regeneration and #development @welshhousefarm @PEACH_E16 @chrisigloo @SO18BigLocal @northfleetbl
How can we ensure that communities benefit from regeneration rather than lose out to it? Find out in this podcast recorded at the launch of Developing Potential, with contribution from @BlueChula, Welsh House Farm Big Local, @PEACH_E16 & @JamesTGoodman: 🎧bit.ly/3ciw24N
@bluechula @welshhousefarm @PEACH_E16 @chrisigloo @SO18BigLocal @northfleetbl I've listened to this & thought you were brilliant! @bluechula @so18Biglocal
Powerful community voices. And really important messages for the entire #regeneration sector.
Great podcast from the launch of the #developingpotential report and community guide. Passion, knowledge, insight and some great ideas on how communities can gain from #regeneration and #development @welshhousefarm @PEACH_E16 @chrisigloo @SO18BigLocal @northfleetbl
@claretostevin @rustic_clutter @rbhousing @rbhtowncentre Yep. Survey was co-created with residents & had 138 responses. Had direct conversations with 35 people at local clubs, we worked with 2 tenant groups to make sure we'd covered what people wanted and with 6 residents reviewers to create recommendations. Everyone did a great job
Thanks Clare. It was wonderful to work with @rbhousing and the residents. Proper #coproduction. A brilliant example of how to really engage residents in #regeneration

Put this report together with @MichaelMarmot & climate emergency declared by all & it’s clear we need a complete reset. Local govt needs to unite & work with Govt in good faith to do so. Key opportunities to respond this yr: Budget, Devo White Paper, Spending Review & COP26
The Final Report of the #UK2070 Commission is published. Commission chair @SirBobKerslake, the former Head of the Home Civil Service, today warns Government that it must “go big or go home” if it is to arrest further economic decline and social division. uk2070.org.uk/2020/02/26/uk2…
Amazing success story - brilliant work @welshhousefarm.
@welshhousefarm @BhamCityCouncil @PeterJFowler7 @Harborne_Jayne @PreetKGillMP @LocalTrust @BlueChula @Feltip1982 @edgbastonri great that @welshhousefarm an independent,resident-led,decision-making body has enabled genuine engagement & consulation with local residents- well done @dvtsopo @Michael_Thawe & thanks to our lovely BCC housing/planning officers for listening & collaborating leading ->#result
