"We didn't start this by going 'right, let's have a huge conference'. We started this around coffee tables. We started this with making. We started this in school playgrounds on a corner of grass with tools. We invited anybody who would come, and we started to unpack."

Special times at @__TheFrontRoom today wrapping up the #NeighbourhoodDoughnut Launch and also one of our last days hosting in the park for this year. Since 2020 this has been my favourite place to come summer and winter alike. Deep thanks to everyone we got to share today with 💛

Looking forward to our next #BeyondBooks event. Young readers have the most inquisitive minds & sharing @HibaNoorKhan1’s book #OneHome will be a joy. Full of stories of activists from across the 🌍, this book perfectly encapsulates the idea of home. bit.ly/bbonehome
