Please join us for the TCPA’s FREE Harvest Supper event, hosted in collaboration with Incredible Edible Leeds, an evening of delightful local food and inspiring guest speakers, all celebrating the launch of the TCPA’s latest resource: Practical Hope: Inspiration for Community Action.
Everyone should be able to live a healthy and fulfilling life. But how do we make this idea a reality for everyone, both now and in the future?
Improving the conditions of our homes and neighbourhoods seems like a good place to start. This means much more than thinking about the design of buildings and places, it means thinking about the people that live in them.
We think the Garden City Principles are a useful way to think about the mixture of ingredients needed to create healthy, thriving places. They touch upon everything from equitable local economies, vibrant and inclusive social and cultural spaces, to the restoration of nature and the sustainability of our planet. But, to make a difference to people’s lives, we need to make these ideas a reality.
The TCPA’s latest resource, Practical Hope: Inspiration for Community Action, seeks to articulate, showcase and champion the practical ways in which people, places, and the environment can thrive. The project is focused on highlighting the power of community action to enable positive change. We have put together a range of case studies that highlight the different ways community groups are working to make a 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.
We found food to be a common thread across several of the case studies, therefore, we are very excited to host this event that not only celebrates the inspiring work of communities across the country, but also provides an opportunity to sample a range of delicious and ethically sourced produce.
