We'll be at the @BarnabasYork table-top sale tomorrow morning asking "what makes home, home"? That table around which you gather with family or that bath which soaks away even the day’s worst worries? That front step where you chat with passers-by or that corner shop – let’s chat

A manifesto that puts local economy and community wealth building at the heart of change. What might that look like? @CommunityYoco has a community plan... ...yoco.uk/

I'll be at the table-top sale at @BarnabasYork on Saturday, 9:00-12:00 - come and chat with @CommunityYoco about local good stuff that slips beneath the radar, what you'd like to be able to walk or wheel to & how we might include it in community-led development on #YorkCentral

Prepping this has certainly made me think, not least about how o make a dream come true, Listening & learning from those who have gone before seems to be a top tip - what do you think?

Along the way to creating a community-led, mixed-use neighbourhood within the York Central development, we're running a workshop which asks what drives us

Blog inspired by @JKGibsonGraham ‘our economy is the outcome of the decisions we make the actions we take'. Let's take ‘economic matters into [our] own hands' and 'create worlds that are socially environmentally just' - one @BarnabasYork table top sale at a time.
