Young people shape future provision on healthy eatingWe’ve just published on our website about our work with Cornwall Council to deliver a consultation seeking young people’s views on healthy eating, weight, and body image.

Citizens Assembly for Creativity and CultureLast Sunday we were invited to run a Bristol Urban Forum event at Trinity Garden Party.

Toolkit for social streetsWe recently attended the launch event for The Library of Social Infrastructure, hosted by the good folks at We Can Make. In partnership with Better Block in Dallas, Texas, they’ve designed a great DIY Front Garden Retrofit Kit, with open source plans for easy to build seating, planters and sharing boxes. Have a go! They’ve had great success using them so far with this great resource for social streets and public spaces. While you’re at it, check out Better Block’s fabulous Wikiblock for more DIY Placemaking designs. Thanks for reading! Have a great month! Amy Rose
