GFN Chester

Chester Chapter of @g00dfornothing community led by @Holly_Ffi and @Una_Meehan bringing like-minded folk together to #makechester www.goodfornothing/perspective

[GFN Chester @GFNChester]

We did a podcast! #SoupInTheLoop
Spreading the word about a certain bird known as Good for Nothing Chester ❤️ We talk about community, participatory cities, hacks, GFNrs, planet & Chester’s USP. All in the name of #MakeChester 👀 Check out our video: https://t.co/WJgC5Msqad

The one where Tim Foxon drew GFN.
Tim is one of the Chester contemporary artists & we had so much fun creating our ‘No Look’ portraits at our 10th birthday celebrations.

We will be revealing some of the Picasso-esque portraits we came across in the coming days - guess who!

3 nights ago we celebrated our 10th birthday & we’ve only just come back down to earth ❤️ The loft @commonhall was bursting with the enegry of GFNrs old and new, listening & connecting over ideas that #makechester a great place to live, learn, work & play. HUGE thanks to all 🚀

[GFN Chester @GFNChester]

Here is the final lineup for our 10th birthday party! Joining Uná and @holly_ffi is an epic changemaker collective doing good in our city and ready to tell us about it. But WHO the heckins is our magnificent mystery guest✏️? (All will be revealed on here tomorrow! 🥁)

[GFN Chester @GFNChester]

A GFNr from Day Dot, our final speaker Tom has been quoted in many a talk as saying "If you want to live in an interesting place, then you must contribute to it". And as co-founder of The Natural Veg Men, @9mealsanarchy & @wemurmur, he has definitely done that.

[GFN Chester @GFNChester]

Our next speaker is a key changemaker across the city.
Tony Swindells is passionate about shaping the future of Chester & shares our belief that creativity is at the heart of its future success. Tony has co-founded an exciting addition to our high street, ŌH Design Foundation.

[GFN Chester @GFNChester]

Our 2nd birthday talk comes from a firm favourite in the city's street performance scene, known to many as Mr Pee Wee! Dave Southern now runs a project called @Pavementology_ which celebrates the unique and often undervalued art form of street performance 🎭

[GFN Chester @GFNChester]

Have you heard we’re having a party? The theme is Connection and our first speaker is co-founder of @FallenAngelsDT, Claire Morris.
She believes creativity & arts participation is a human right, and they support people to share their recovery journey through dance & performance❤️

[GFN Chester @GFNChester]

And have you heard we’re 10yrs old? We have an extra special birthday party planned for GFNrs so check your emails (we’ve sent a few) and sign up 🥳
