Stir to Action

I’m delighted to have donated to this really important work to rebuild our democratic social fabric @CompassOffice

We’ve launched a crowdfunding campaign for our national programme – 21st Century Social Clubs – that is building a movement to protect and revitalise these member-owned spaces for a new generation! Support us by pledging here: crowdfunder.co.uk/p/21st-century…

Stronger Local Places: Rebuilding the Social Club Movement conference brings together club members, policymakers, charities & funders to explore how Britain’s social clubs can be revived as vibrant civic hubs. Find more event info & tickets: 👉 democraticbusiness.org/events/stronge…

Pleased to be sponsoring this @StirToAction conference on social clubs. Many existing clubs operate from historic buildings, and this conference will look at how we ensure they continue to play a role in their communities into the future. Tickets: 🎟 bit.ly/3DDqt3s

I've always argued about the importance of laundrettes for both local communities and the wider economy, so am pleased to be supporting the #CoopHeroes of @kittyslaundry in their latest crowdfunding initiative crowdfunder.co.uk/p/kittys-laund… #CoopsFortnight

@graceblakeley Great piece! We're currently developing a national programme to save and revitalise Britain's social clubs, democratic member-owned spaces that are in a long-term crisis and, as a result, vulnerable to developers. democraticbusiness.org/events/stronge…

"The loss of our community spaces is undermining the bonds that tie us together and eroding the fabric of our communities. I spoke to a group of passionate campaigners in central London who are fighting to save one such space - the world’s first YMCA." wcwd.substack.com/p/its-not-just…

@ArchHFund Thanks for the support!
