Housing Voices
Marylebone
Faced with plans for large scale regeneration across two housing estates, about a decade ago residents of Church Street ward set up a neighbourhood forum to address and consult on the proposals. From the beginning, members of St Paul’s church were heavily involved.
Newcastle
Shieldfield Art Works (SAW) combines faith, art and community activism. Part church, part art gallery, part community space, SAW’s work builds community, showcases their area – Shieldfield in Newcastle – and stimulates the voice of residents on the issues affecting them.
Shadwell
Over the last two and a half years St George-in-the-East church in Shadwell, East London, has facilitated and won a campaign for affordable Community Land Trust homes on a piece of land opposite their church.
