Growing a global movement to get through tough times - called camerados. Side hustle on jazz piano.

What an absolutely amazing day! It was brilliant to see @Camerados_org again! Remember, it’s ok to disagree😀 💚

Ey up! Be reyt Rotherham. Day 3 of our UK tour #CameradosIs10 @ColeridgeSchool
It is fitting that our 10th-anniversary road trip stops here; for years now, these kids have inspired us all. They've worn the badge, used the principles and looked out for each other. Muslim, Christian, Sikh, Jews, Sheffield United & Wednesday fans, party rings and chocky bicky fanatics alike, they've all had each other's backs.

We drew the Cs on every flying saucer by hand with edible pen. All of them. Oh yeah. We’re READY for you @ColeridgeP4C 🔥🤟
See you in the morning for a #Camerados assembly

Public Living Rooms are no-agenda spaces where everyone is welcome. People visit #PublicLivingRooms every day to get through tough times. Just being around others can make all the difference. Find one here: https://t.co/hHZrosyx6u

@BBCRadio3 #3breakfast That wasn't "Stormy Weather" you just played but "Come Rain and Come Shine"....the clue is in the very prominent lyric!! 🤣

£10 gets you 4 hours of parking in Norwich but it also could help get folk through tough times if their community has a #PublicLivingRoom, check out the Camerados Crowdfunder here (use the link - https://t.co/4Nm1R4qe4Y) and use the challenges to join in. #CameradosIs10

[Maff Potts @MaffPotts]

Our Crowdfunder has gone live!💥
The movement steps up to help the next lot of communities setting up #PublicLivingRooms
1/4 of PLRs are in top 1% most deprived neighbourhoods, 73% are in top 5, so not asking for too much.
If you like us chip in too!

Lights, #Camerados, action! What a fantastic way to look out for each other. The Camerados in Cumnock recently had a movie night in their #PublicLivingRoom. They all sank into their brand-new sofa to enjoy a fabulous film with tea and mountains of popcorn.

@ColeridgeSchool @Camerados_org FANTASTIC 💥👏👏 #WeAreCamerados

[Maff Potts @MaffPotts]

Loved #BuryPark in #Luton this wk when popped up a #publiclivingroom on their pavement with powerhouse of positivity @RaineyPhyl🙌💛 Made to feel so welcome by local community tho most folk wanted to buy our furniture. Also met @irfan_fozia & had the BEST food! #WeAreCamerados

[Maff Potts @MaffPotts]

Mr Gower. The actor slapped the young boy so hard in this scene it bled for real. I watch this every Christmas Eve and it never gets old. #Capra

[Maff Potts @MaffPotts]

Ok so we’re ending the year with THE BEST VID!!! This has made me laugh every time I watch it. The folks in the Snowdrop centre/ Lochgilphead #publiclivingroom are fantastically silly 👏👏👏🙌
…let’s all follow their example in 2025 folks! 💛

Tsk. Tsk. What a naughty Santa, we are simply shocked by his shameful and quite frankly very silly behaviour. He should be leading by example. Like our respectful older ladies no nonsense or frivolity exercise group. 🤔😜

[Maff Potts @MaffPotts]

Shock & disappointment at the Gospel gig last night. Santa, seriously?!? Attacking kids on the front row with snowballs. Has it come to this?! 😔😢 #BadSanta. I didn’t see it happen, I was otherwise occupied (ahem)

[Maff Potts @MaffPotts]

Thank you @OxfordGospel for raising money for @Camerados_org in 2 concerts yesterday. We danced, cried & were attacked by a violent Santa who some said looked like me?!? Such a great community vibe and so joyous

[Association of Camerados @Camerados_org]

At the #CameradosCampfire2024 folk from all walks of life came together and mucked in to transform a huge hall into a giant sized #PublicLivingRoom with more squidgy sofas and twinkling fairy lights than you can imagine.

What a lovely collage Phyl thank you! I miss it and wish we could do it every weekend! Your presence, like your scarf, was glorious, joyous and bonkers! 💛💛💛

Starting to paint our windows for Christmas.
For many Christmas is not the most wonderful time of the year. It can be a very tough time. Please look out for each other. No fixing just be alongside. #BeMoreHuman #WeAreCamerados #AHumanIsNotJustForChristmas @Camerados_org

[Maff Potts @MaffPotts]

Sad to hear about John Prescott’s passing today. In 2003 back when I worked for @crisis_uk the decision to give us the Dome for a Christmas Homeless shelter went into his red ministerial box over the weekend. He said Yes. Last thing it was used for under public ownership #Geezer
