Our lockdown has given us a new perspective on where and how we live, work, love and laugh. The objects around us have taken on new meanings and will come to represent this period when we look back. We'll be submitting our lockdown objects to #TheMuseumOfNow
Today #TheMuseumOfNow, a virtual museum dedicated to telling the story of your lockdown goes live. Send your items and their stories for inclusion - anything goes, big or small, physical or sensory. More info at https://t.co/WEteF1jXwc @communitybrain supported by @ace_national
Today we're pleased to share an Evaluation Report Summary of our innovative Pods, by @LeilaRBaker.
Find out what we learned from piloting these flat-pack temporary accommodation structures in London - and how you could use the Pods in your own shelter 👇

We’ve launched a survey to find out how people feel about the community where they live. Please help us understand what’s important to you now and for the future. You can fill it in here: https://t.co/bRcSoFTo04
Please spread the word to friends & family. It’s open to everyone.
@CommonwealTweet@RIBAJ@The999Club@CommonwealCEO @Housing_Justice The design for the pods is available for charities to use free of charge. We've teamed up with @Housing_Justice and provide cutting templates for all the components (for #cnc milling) and full assembly instructions.
A nice way to end the year with our Commonweal Pods long-listed for this year's MacEwen Award. The demountable pods were developed with @CommonwealTweet to provide privacy and dignity for rough sleepers staying in night shelters @RIBAJ#ribajmacewen https://t.co/6txn8pysPi
It's been great fun working on this project, and great to see everyone putting community, affordability and sustainability at the top of the agenda. #ukhousing
Great report - putting the case for Community Lead Housing. Its focus is London, but the benefits aren't limited to the capital. Our schemes in the south-west with @WessexCLT @Development_UC show how communities can help address the needs that aren't addressed by developers
LAUNCHED! @futureofldn has partnered w/ Commonweal to publish report challenging assumptions of mainstream dev’t & highlighting potential for community-led housing to engage local ppl in building #affordablehomes & rebuilding #trust. #CLHLondon. Download: https://t.co/kH7APzRO5A
So proud to have supported this evolution of our #Pods project by @georgefisher66 with @ReedWattsArch for @IlfordRCWC. Guests now have greater privacy and the chance to "take ownership of the small space they have" >

@IlfordRCWC@CommonwealTweet@CommonwealCEO Yes - we now have 3 versions of the pod - with the designs available for free if your shelter is run by a charity or local authority. This smaller version is a great addition to the family. Please get in touch for more information.
