We spoke to the London Assembly Housing Committee about #communityledhousing, alongside @tomcopley@LivUni@triodos
We drew on our reflections for the future and how we might give people control and belonging without the challenges.

It was a real pleasure to celebrate the 36 new community-led and part-self build homes built by @RUSSLewisham at Church Grove this afternoon.
It’s taken 15 years and vast amounts of time, energy and dedication. I’m proud that the scheme received funding from the @MayorofLondon.
It was great to attend the @RUSSLewisham event today celebrating the 36 new homes built at 12 Church Grove.
RUSS have done amazing work alongside stakeholders like the GLA and Lewisham Council, and it’s fantastic to see sustainable community-led neighbourhoods in Lewisham North.
💎A new jewel in Lewisham’s self-build crown 👑
Delighted to join @RUSSLewisham & special guests @TomCopley and @VickyFoxcroft at the formal opening of their Church Grove site - not only delivering 36 sustainable & affordable homes but a fantastic new community in #Ladywell

We had a great evening sharing experiences with @RUSSLewisham and @LondonCLT on how they created, maintained and are continuing to grow their communities and housing ownership. We all liked it so much we agreed to meet again in October! Thank you all and @CLHLondon
“It’s our idea of what a sustainable neighbourhood looks like... more than just being affordable, it’s about having control... self-build in the broadest sense of building a community. Strong neighbourly bonds were already formed, before people moved in.”
