8th October : 10:00 am – 11:30 am
The TCPA’s work, especially our Tomorrow 125 project and Garden City principles, outlines the ingredients needed for thriving places and communities. How do we put these principles into practice and make real change happen on the ground?
This webinar will launch the TCPA’s new resource, Practical Hope: Inspiration for Community Action, which seeks to showcase and champion the practical ways in which people, places, and the environment can thrive. We have put together a range of case studies that highlight the different ways community groups are working to make positive change in their local area, from community food growing and energy production to retrofitting for climate change. We hope this resource will showcase what is possible and provide useful advice and links to community groups across England.
