If I’ve met you in 2024, I’ve no doubt shared this brilliant paper & my hack highlighting the role for #CommunityLed in filling out the missing third of “common good” homes that actually meet the needs of people & respect planetary boundaries.

What any overhaul of #NPPF should be aiming to do…
Two diagrams showing housing delivery of housing. First diagram is nearly 100% financialed commercial delivery. Second diagram shows common good housing whereby 1/3 delivered by commercial sector, 1/3 by council/public; 1/3 by not for profit community led groups

Move over cheesy dad-jokes. I’m in charge of the advent calendar now! I think my twin teen girls are going to appreciate December in a whole new way 🤘
Day 1:
White advent calendar with a a Fudge sweet and small white piece of paper written with a quote by Octavia Butler “The function of art is to do more than tell it like it is. It’s to imagine what is possible.” A white advent calendar on a red table with a small white piece of paper, on which is written “Overpower. Overtake. Overcome.” - Serena Williams. A mini crunchie bar next to the paper.
