Founded @dddproperty, a social enterprise that turns empty space into homes for people who want to volunteer

My top ten books* for anyone interested in housing, social impact or entrepreneurship - or really anyone just wanting an interesting read. Including books by Lynsey Hanley, @Atul_Gawande and Tony Parker. *And a couple of blogs from @LRB and @Refinery29UK https://t.co/RMewMOGOlR

Freedom means we can do what we want. But it doesn't mean that we should.

As firm rules are lifted, we need to be even more thoughtful about how to keep others safe.

Living as an adult in a free society should mean being considerate and embracing responsibility.

We've been housing people and supporting volunteering at @dddproperty for a decade! My blog on how success depends at least as much on careful administrators and system-builders as on entrepreneurs like me: https://t.co/np3qcWp6u5

Think being a social enterprise can’t possibly have anything to do with submarines? Think again. Our founder, @kathhibbert, explores the parallels between our decision-making process and that of sailors operating 500m underwater 🤿 https://t.co/ntd8qdYKtK #SocEnt

It is no secret that finding inexpensive housing in a place you want to live is becoming increasingly difficult for many people in the UK. In this week's blog, @kathhibbert explores how property guardianship offers an alternative:

@tonycurzonprice @dddproperty Sounds very interesting and relevant - I've booked a place. Thanks Tony!

@jonburkeUK Thanks for all your work in Hackney, Jon - as a resident, I massively appreciate the hard effort to manage traffic and plant more trees!

Our recent guardian survey showed of the 100 respondents, 98% would continue to volunteer after leaving our housing. @kathhibbert explains more on how these positive results are testament to our mission to enable people to become lifelong #volunteers: https://t.co/tu0qcCvEkq

There I was idly watching this clip thinking "that @helenpidd is speaking sense and has good hair", and then I noticed that she has my book, Free, on her shelf next to @amy_may 's The Outrun. Day made.

“I'm so infuriated and cross and really quite sad at... yet more lockdown” says the Guardian’s north of England editor Helen Pidd

She compares Stockport locked down for months to parts of London with higher virus figures in a lower tier

@jonburkeUK Great news. Thanks for the hard work.

[Katharine Hibbert @kathhibbert]

Sending @jonburkeUK the good vibes for continuing to try to improve Hackney's roads for all residents despite unreasonable abuse. As someone who lives in Stamford Hill, which is still a car-centric free-for-all, I only wish the council would do more and faster.

[Katharine Hibbert @kathhibbert]

@jonburkeUK The Woodberry side - as I'm sure you know, the situation on Dunsmure Road is a gridlocked nightmare of honking, illegal parking, scraped cars and filthy air. Dreadful whether I walk, drive or cycle down it

[Katharine Hibbert @kathhibbert]

@jonburkeUK Oh good! Glad to hear the vibes did reach you. Keep at it!

[Dot Dot Dot @dddproperty]

Thrilled to see that our founder @kathhibbert has been announced as one of the top 100 Women In Social Enterprise showing Covid-19 who's boss 💪#WISE100 #socent
