Community action. Systems change. Integral thinking. Finding rhythms for deeper connection. Playing with emergence. Love Boro and my mint family.

@Mick4Boro Thanks Mick. Yeah, me too. It will help us relaunch a wider set of community-led research so lots more coming

[Andy Falconer @AndyFalconer82]

Lived in Boro decades or only visit occasionally? Our Community Research team are taking a snaphot of what people value & what they hope for in local cultural/community life. We hope to whip up the findings to pass to people with policy power & activists. https://t.co/XowM3iIUyF

@angelafell @JoeDoran123 @MaffPotts @TheBoyMoon1 @CatDRees @mattstabb @supportbechange @CalSocialHermit @Fabhonda Really curious about the original conversation now! What have I missed?

[Andy Falconer @AndyFalconer82]

@YDawson5 @Camerados_org Taking on some of these spaces in Boro has been incredible for us and our public living rooms in town centre locations. Shouldn't be a hard sell to councils and companies but often is. Easier once they can see it working nearby

[Andy Falconer @AndyFalconer82]

@YDawson5 @CatDRees @hannah_ellis89 @Camerados_org Haha, I think it reflects a direction a lot of us wouldn't mind moving...

[Andy Falconer @AndyFalconer82]

It was tremendous to be at this gathering of hopeful hearts this week. Beneath the real disconnection we often feel is a sea of connection and possibility. Travelled home eager to weave new stories that help bridge our experiences and build a better world

It was fantastic to welcome so many friends, colleagues and collaborators to @UCLEast for the opening conversation of Ordinary Hope.

The joint project between @UCL and @jrf_uk aims to help power the future of economic and social justice in the UK.

We had a wonderful day late last year with @Anoosh_C from New Statesman visiting our public living rooms and Blueprint Festival sessions. Very pleased to share the thoughtful write up which has just landed. Human connection and opportunities lurking in difficult times

[Andy Falconer @AndyFalconer82]

@Anoosh_C Thanks for spending that day with us @Anoosh_C Cheers for such a thoughtful piece. Me and @MaffPotts were just appreciating your curiosity and care to dig into the stories underneath the numbers

[Maff Potts @MaffPotts]

Big respect to @Anoosh_C for hitting the streets of Boro to meet #camerados & putting crucial need for spaces to simply come together at the heart of #CostOfLivingCrises @Camerados_org @AndyFalconer82 #CostOfConnection

@markdavis275 Fantastic to catch up today. Great possibilities. And thanks for helping me dust off my Twitter account!

[Andy Falconer @AndyFalconer82]

Inspiring night tuning in to the #WhatNextSummit Zoom about Imagination and how it weaves through ideas of social change and conjuring new worlds. We all have access to imagination but cultivating that in systems and organisations is a beautiful challenge.

[Andy Falconer @AndyFalconer82]

Fantastic stuff

@MaffPotts @CormacRussell SOUP events can be amazing. In NE most paused til they can go back to face2face. @BoroSOUP doing online and fresh iterations. Durham have online event lined up https://t.co/XgwiGKEtpe
@NewcastleSoup thinking same.
If Durham, @nickmalyan could be a good connection for mutual aid

[Andy Falconer @AndyFalconer82]

I got to dip my toe into writing and it was so good to get to talk about alley greening in Boro. Despite 2020 we're still seeing great new projects starting. Community-led, community assets. Community connection
