B.R.I.A.N is our Beyond Recovery Intergenerational Activity and Neighbourhood project. We are bringing together community groups, schools & faith-based organisations across the area. B.R.I.A.N is a training project funded by the National Lottery Community Fund. Our training covers the origins of intergenerational practice and what we mean by it, the principles of intergenerational practice, how to plan and evaluate an intergenerational project, as well as looking at the possible obstacles and challenges involved in Intergenerational work and strategies for overcoming them.

Draft for a Statement of Human Obligation* - A Fall workshop on Mise en scène - the 'setting' of what makes a good neighborhood**. *(Inspired by Simone Weil, French philosopher. PBS.org. Other Voices ) ** (Inspired by the West Fullerton Civic Engagement work of Dr. Robert Emry and Owen Holmes of Cal State Fullerton funded by the California Stories project, League of Women Voters entitled Hope & Civic Renewal) Long post warning: The human soul has need of both personal property and collective property. Personal property never consists in the possession of a sum of money, but in the ownership of concrete objects like a house, a field, furniture, tools, which seem to the soul to be an extension of itself and of the body. Justice requires that personal property, in this sense, should be, like liberty, inalienable. Collective property is not defined by a legal title but by the feeling among members of a human milieu that certain objects are like an extension or development of the milieu. This feeling is only possible in certain objective conditions. - Simone Weil, French philosopher. Workshop dates and sign-up links coming soon. Two hour sessions with 10-15 people using Grove graphic facilitations methodology and community building & problem solving. Where you live is situated IN a neighborhood.

I hope some of you can make it out to see Monique Moreno (she/her) on this panel!

This story has really captured the hearts & minds of people near & far. A beautifully simple story in so many respects, but also an embodiment of what community regeneration means: connection, revival, action & hope. https://lnkd.in/exnn6ubk

As a Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (CDFI Fund), we are able to partner with banks to provide capital not only to for-profit businesses, but also to nonprofit agencies. This video from Pinnacle Financial Partners shows an example of the positive impacts these partnerships can have upon a community. #banking #communitybanking #cdfi #economicdevelopment

Did you know that Black people in England & Wales are THREE times more likely to live in social housing (Census 2021)? Black South West Network's 2020 Housing research also identifies that Black and Minority households also experience difficulties in getting issues surrounding housing conditions addressed due to numerous factors such as language barriers, racial prejudice, and economic barriers. As part of our practical community work, BSWN paired up with Bristol City Council and numerous other Bristol-based charities to provide Black and Minoritised communities direct access to City Council housing officers. In providing culturally-sensitive, safe spaces for these issues to be addressed, we hope to help alleviate the ongoing housing disparities experienced by racialised folk. We've already had two sessions this year (Barton Hill and Fishponds), providing assistance to well over 20 social housing tenants in matters like HomeChoice, Repairs & Maintenance, and ASB! We have two upcoming sessions: in August (Southmead) and October (Easton/Eastville). If you know any community members that might benefit, pass them along this link: https://lnkd.in/gzgm4fn8
