Friends of Meersbrook Hall

We work with Heeley Trust and the Guild of St George to celebrate the history and heritage of Meersbrook Hall by creating a thriving community hub.

attended the @Reform event on devo in Manchester. It was good: Laura Shoaf described a funding system with rules and restrictions that prevents working in the way they want with communities .... a glass ceiling we've experienced! A Community Power Act needed? #righthere

Liz is a local cellist. She has just released an album inspired by the landscape around Meersbrook. It's sublime!

The leaders of #communitypower @right_hereUK campaign. What strikes me is how common are the stories of local people and organisations ready to contribute to mutual aid and positive action. legal enablers will help this grow further. @HeeleyTrust @heeleyplus

Incredible day in Parliament gathering MPs, local gov & community changemakers to celebrate #communitypower & gather support for our Community Power Act.

The movement grows 💪🌻

[We're Right Here: the campaign for community power @right_hereUK]

"We talk endlessly about how to move powers between existing bodies, but not how to transfer them to communities.

"We have to cede power, and now is the moment now to do it."

Shadow Levelling Up Minister @AlexNorrisNN champions the Community Power Act in Parliament.

[We're Right Here: the campaign for community power @right_hereUK]

Later today, we'll be in Parliament calling for a Community Power Act to allow more of these groups to thrive: https://t.co/PuhdUdlxNI

In the meantime, you can read more about our mutual aid research in @guardian today!
