You know how we said money from every bag would go to local good causes? And you know how I said we would announce who soon?

This seems a good time to say that we will be supporting @buildakiondo and @andrereid_ and their mission to transform Walsall.

[Andre Reid @andrereid_]

Little build test from some pieces we fabricated @portablelanduk with @danielyep getting his hands dirty running some experiments before we build the #growroom 😀😀

[Portable Land @portablelanduk]

Give people the land they require, the space they require, the lives we all require.
Walsall needs the capacity to reimagine itself, for itself. https://t.co/nY83qOQF7e

[Andre Reid @andrereid_]

How does society expect the best of its people when you give them the worst of conditions to work with! Im not talking governments or local authorities im talking people. We are the ones making decisions. Deflection wont change this world. Action will https://t.co/P67CvHqVA4

[Andre Reid @andrereid_]

Walsall needs our courage and determination! So many people resonate with this mission to Reimagine #Walsall2020. It may take many conversations to convince people, but it takes 1 action to change hundreds of lives. Invest in the this town and its people! https://t.co/P67CvHqVA4

[Portable Land @portablelanduk]

What is land if we dont use it in the best way possible. @andrereid_ is imagining how land could be reused in the town of Walsall, UK. Its impacts are wider than the town though. It will be international… Check out the fund: https://t.co/PNYWwTr5XT

What is #Design #Education if all we do is talk about professionals in studios & offices who dont connect with people on the outside living their lives. We need a space to reimagine that dynamic. We all design:

Design is life.
Design is choice.
Design is freedom.

“Farming is the least diverse profession in Britain – 98.6% of farmers are White British. The environment sector is the second least diverse at 96.9% employees being White British. This is not just an employment issue but also one of access to space.”
Things like this are 🔑 !!!
