COMMUNITY DEVELOPEMENT
I
have a personal interest in moving towards more
communal ways of living and I am interested in
discussing development possibilities with people
in Austria. In addition, I have 10 years experience
helping local groups turn a wide variety of ideas
into reality to the benefit of local communities.
In addition to projects referred to elsewhere
on this site, this work has included:
Play
and Recycling Centre
Developing
a 9,500ft2 warehouse in Derby to provide:
- a
scrap-store of usable waste & 'reject' material
from companies - fabrics, paper, plastics...etc.
- as play materials for local play-groups, schools...etc.
- play
training
-
possible art studio space and a roof garden
My
involvement: Co-ordinating early
stage development from concept through to property
acquisition (free-hold) inc. capital fund-raising.
Organic
produce for city communities to provide
fresh organic produce to people living in Derby
My
involvement: Facilitating the setting-up
of management group, and supply and distribution
network for weekly delivery of organic produce
to inner city areas.
This
led to later development ideas of 'affordable
organic produce', aiming to:
- Increase
the supply of locally produced organic produce
into Derby
- Provide
affordable organic produce for people on low
incomes
My
involvement: co-ordinating the early
stage discussions involving local Statutory Authorities,
Farmers, Agricultural College and people on low
incomes
