How’s this for an innovative approach to building new homes? In Kent, they’ve added modular homes to the roof of an existing apartment block - creating new living spaces without the need for more physical footprint (at least at ground level). https://lnkd.in/gSPCDXWq This is a great example of thinking a little bit differently and using new advances in construction to solve an age-old problem. It is the type of solution that councils and local government organisations across the country should be looking at to alleviate the homelessness problems that seem to be in the news every day. I’d love to see more of this kind of construction, particularly here in the North West. What are your thoughts? Is your local authority embracing some unorthodox concepts to help? #Homelessness #ModularHousing

Like most of us, councils and companies across the capital are being forced to tighten their belts. From Covid to the cost-of-living crisis, the economy is at breaking point and something has to give. We get that. But what we’re fighting for here at MyLondon is our communities - to not let cost saving come at the cost of community assets that have been the lifeblood of the areas they serve for decades. We need transparent roundtable talks, not behind-closed-doors discussions. We need decisions made for a future that is brighter than our today; decisions that will best serve generations who deserve to have what we had. Please be part of the conversation. London lost 46 community spaces in 6 years, with one borough seeing 13 venues shut down. If you know a club or organisation at risk of closure please let us know. And if you don’t, please help us fight for the causes that are ????

Social Capital: reviving community spaces A thought provoking session with the RSA this evening discussing the need for social cohesion strategies and legislative action to halt the erosion of society. ??Thinking back to my childhood I recall youth centres. ??Nowadays these don’t exist There’s been an erosion of funding for places where people can get together in the UK:- Youth centres Sports clubs Community centres Libraries ??I’d agree - whilst we’re ‘locking down’ action for businesses around sustainability and ‘Environmental and Social Governance’ (ESG) with mandatory reporting on the horizon for small to medium sized businesses, this is the right time to put in place policies/incentives/legislation around social capital investment. ????The data on health, wellbeing - the reduction in loneliness and poor mental health is all there. Factors like social support, healthy life expectancy, freedom to make choices, and community spaces contribute to happiness. ??Researchers on happiness indices include the World Happiness Report https://lnkd.in/ereYSiVt and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) https://lnkd.in/eRbccinR ??What personal steps can you take to engage with your community? Small steps such as getting to know your neighbours make a difference.???? ??What does your business do to support social cohesion? Volunteering days are a great start!??

?? #WRLDCTY | Session of the Day: Wellbeing By Design | Antonio Gomez-Palacio Check out the session for free until Oct. 31: https://lnkd.in/e-3YjGyd Antonio addressed the urgent need to rethink urban planning through the lens of community health and wellbeing. His presentation was a call to shift away from reactive, outdated metrics of success like units built or passengers moved. Instead, Antonio shared insights from the Community Wellbeing Framework—a research-driven model for designing cities that foster holistic health, public wellness, and environmental resilience. With 96% of urban planning being reactive, he made a compelling case for integrating preventative design into city-building strategies to combat the social, economic, and environmental crises plaguing our cities. #urbanplanning #urbandevelopment #urbansolutions #futurethinking #futureplanning #economicdevelopment #communitywellbeing #cities #citybuilding #social #economics #environmentalcrisis #sustainability

Kia ora Dargaville! We’re excited to announce the launch of our Men-Tall Health Club in your community, starting on Monday 4th November at Rugby Park. Our Monday night meet-ups offer a safe, supportive space where men can simply come together to talk. Our focus? Encouraging open conversation to help prevent suicide – a significant issue in our rural communities. This isn’t about therapy or mental health ‘chats’ that might feel heavy. Instead, it’s about giving blokes the opportunity to connect, share, and lighten the load through regular, honest kōrero. Whether you’re feeling good or need a bit of support, there’s no pressure. We’re here to help change the narrative around what it means to talk about the hard stuff. If you’re in Dargaville, Kaipara, or the surrounding areas, come along – it’s a chance to talk, listen, and support one another. Details: ?? Starting: Monday, 4th November ? Time: 6:30-8:30 PM ?? Location: Rugby Park, Dargaville Whether you’re a farmer, a tradesman, or anything in between, you’re welcome. It’s free, it’s confidential, and it could make a difference in your life or someone you know. See you there, Dargaville – let’s start the conversation! #changethenarrative #mensmentalhealth #Dargaville

Sport has the power to enhance physical wellbeing, boost educational achievements, and foster social health. In his research, Nico Schulenkorf is delving into how sport for development programs can improve outcomes for disadvantaged communities. #SportsForDevelopment #CommunityBuilding #ResearchImpact
#Sport is big business - and it is also an opportunity to create positive #social impact in our community! That's why researchers at CSBS are not only looking at professional sporting outcomes, but also at the role of sport in supporting disadvantaged groups in society.
