We'll be at the @BarnabasYork table-top sale tomorrow morning asking "what makes home, home"? That table around which you gather with family or that bath which soaks away even the day’s worst worries? That front step where you chat with passers-by or that corner shop – let’s chat

[YoCo Community @CommunityYoco]

@dressrdelivery @YorkCycle @CityofYork @networkrail As far as we know it's very much still in the proposals, but no idea which phase of the delivery (but we can ask).

[YorSpace @Yorspace]

So great to have two #communityled organisations featured in the @yorkpress over the past week with outreach events.

Power to the people with
@loficoho & @CommunityYoco

[YoCo Community @CommunityYoco]

@jamesneward @BarnabasYork ...and here's Jai and Heidi ready to get planting...

[YoCo Community @CommunityYoco]

We're at @BarnabasYork doing the table top sale (and potting up plants!) - come and find out about our plans for forever-affordable homes on #YorkCentral. Here all morning but will be talking through it all 11:00-12:00

[YorSpace @Yorspace]

Things are moving forward with #communityledhousing in #York ... exciting news to announce very soon.

In the meantime..

Our partner #coop @loficoho have recently reopened resident applications.

There are still 2 & 3 bed homes available

@boardman_claire Birdsong outside your window! It's in the Community Plan!

[Phil Bixby @philbixby.bsky.social @PhilBixby]

A manifesto that puts local economy and community wealth building at the heart of change. What might that look like? @CommunityYoco has a community plan... ...https://t.co/DTGM6NJdBg

[YoCo Community @CommunityYoco]

Only two days to go until the Community Land Trust Network conference on #BuildingwithCommunities and YoCo's going to be there - telling stories of #YorkCentral and learning how community action & ownership brings homes, local economy & beautiful places. @Yorspace @CityofYork

[YoCo Community @CommunityYoco]

@wearenewlocal @peoplesbiz @the_young_fdn @LocalTrust @Plunkett_UK @localitynews @CooperativesUK @TNLComFund @ChrisCowcher @right_hereUK @platformplaces @HighStreetsTF A good read, which flags up that neighbourhoods are about more than homes, and creating local economy (especially around sustainability) brings all sorts of benefits to both existing and new communities. Read about YoCo's aims for just that at https://t.co/x7MGgSbB5f

[YoCo Community @CommunityYoco]

Well, the unseasonable weather took a toll on footfall but still some good chats with Leeman Road folks...

[YoCo Community @CommunityYoco]

Today's the day - it may be grey outside but you can map out a sunny future with us, so come and chat!

[Phil Bixby @philbixby.bsky.social @PhilBixby]

I'll be at the table-top sale at @BarnabasYork on Saturday, 9:00-12:00 - come and chat with @CommunityYoco about local good stuff that slips beneath the radar, what you'd like to be able to walk or wheel to & how we might include it in community-led development on #YorkCentral

[ Claire Boardman @boardman_claire]

Prepping this has certainly made me think, not least about how o make a dream come true, Listening & learning from those who have gone before seems to be a top tip - what do you think?

[Phil Bixby @philbixby.bsky.social @PhilBixby]

Still plenty of free places for the two Passivhaus Open Days at York's Hob Moor Passivhaus. Find out how they feel, if the windows open, and what they're like to live in. Oh and the same for the not-quite-Passivhaus retrofit/extension next door! Booking at https://t.co/A9gNEiFO1W

Great @ollywainwright article in the @guardian on https://t.co/t5U42i57Bb CLT scheme in south London, forever-affordable homes created despite a difficult path post Brexit/Covid/Grenfell. Mixed tenure brings investment which supports affordability for all https://t.co/6lVlivyUaa

[YoCo Community @CommunityYoco]

Along the way to creating a community-led, mixed-use neighbourhood within the York Central development, we're running a workshop which asks what drives us
to community action? What's our individual fuel? There's a blog at https://t.co/rh1vS9rttu
