@Tony_Meredith @evan @Ruth_Mottram we have a #PublicLivingRoom which is based on the #Camerados model started by #MaffPotts - it absolutely changes lives and is amazing to see the difference a game of Connect 4 makes - a great podcast here with him and #SamConniff and others including a section on how funders insist on outcomes and measuring stuff that doesn't matter..but the stuff that really does change lives like friendships, purpose, happiness can't be measured so get overlooked. https://open.spotify.com/episode/47pyS3lODW7FBmKuswt9X3?si=aMorCTjmRhyBftZJYt3nyQ

We run a #PublicLivingRoom in #Settle and it's been an amazing experience to see how it helps improve confidence and create friendships. They are the idea of #MaffPotts and his charity #Camerados.. this is an interview with him about starting 17 mins in on this #RightUpMyPodcast https://open.spotify.com/episode/5N4iXBBvEex9JawLMy6oFF?si=RyDeimuCR22qpVxhe6YvKw

Now I'm properly off the bird site..want to try and find #UKCharity #ABCD #PublicLivingRoom folk on here...but feels many haven't moved over yet. I run Settle Community and Business Hub in #NorthYorkshire which is much smaller but based on #ImpactHub model and would love to connect with others doing similar stuff.

Now I've been here a while - doing another #introduction toot.. keep forgetting we can use lots of characters here! Currently running a community project in #YorkshireDales with a focus on #FoodWaste #CommunityFridge #Allotment #ReducingIsolation A big part of what we do is a twice weekly #PublicLivingRoom based on the idea from #Camerados. Worked for many years in analytical #chemistry #geochemistry research before retraining as a #homeopath and working a lot with #MentalHealth #Trauma .. sadly this has been really useful for doing community work. Other interests include #walking #gardening #permaculture #DeathCafe #cooking #crafting especially #patchwork #travel #festivals #reading and me and husband would love to have #goats but unlikely to happen! So will just have to manage with frequent searching of #GoatsOfMastodon hashtag. Since about 2015 been really influenced by the work of #OttoScharmer #ULab and the #ImpactHub model and especially the concept of #prototyping. Was recently described by a friend as 'a bit of a #lefty who gets shit done' and think that actually sums me up perfectly. Picture is of Ethel one of our lovely regular visitors at our #CommunityFridge
