Resources
Grass Roots Remedies co-op
Grass Roots Remedies is a Worker’s Coop based in Edinburgh and Glasgow working to rekindle our rich tradition of herbal community healthcare and promote ecologically responsible herbalism. We believe that herbal medicine is the medicine of the people, and that it should be accessible to everyone.
Regenerate
Regenerate creates opportunities for young people to thrive. We inspire and support young people by building strong relationships and creating life changing opportunities, helping them grow in confidence, make the best of their lives, and impact the world for good.
Restore Project
The Restore project is about engaging polar opposite communities, locals of traditional welsh valleys and communities of asylum seekers and refugees, bridging the differences using food and the production of food, creating a space to belong and to learn.
Rethink Food
At Rethink Food we are creating systems where food becomes the solution and not the problem. Our mission is to improve health and wellbeing outcomes for children, young people and communities by changing the way we think about food.
Social Farms & Gardens in NI
Social Farms & Gardens in NI have been delivering the FSSSE programme to 23 gardens across the north of Ireland for 18 months, addressing fundamental questions of food sovereignty, power, control, biodiversity and climate instability, equipping us to find our own road to agency, through saving & exchanging seed together.
The Coping Mechanism
The Coping Mechanism monitors how people are coping with the pandemic both with positive pro-social coping (resilience) and negative anti-social coping (defendedness) and how financial stability & racial privilege impact coping.
The Feel Better Project
Domestic Abuse is not inevitable. Every year, globally, millions of people suffer and lose their lives as a result of this epidemic. At The Feel Better Project we use evidence and research to understand the causes that lead to violence, and what steps we can all take to preventing this tragic cycle.
The London Renters’ Union
The London Renters’ Union is a member-led, campaigning union. We take action with our members to win better housing conditions in the here and now as well as organsing to transform the housing system so that it serves people instead of profit.
The Shieling Project
The Shieling Project is a social enterprise and community-based off-grid education centre in Glenstrathfarrar, near Beauly in the Scottish Highlands. We use the story of the ‘shieling’ (àirigh in Scottish Gaelic) as a route into place-based learning about crofting, horticulture, green building, food growing and cooking, renewable technologies, traditional skills, crafts and culture. The idea is simple: to explore the landscape’s past to help build a more sustainable, resilient future.
The UBI Lab Network
In 2020, UBI Lab has become a worldwide network of researchers, activists and campaigners exploring the potential of a Universal Basic Income.
Torridge Common Ground
Torridge Common Ground is a non-party-political platform putting the shared values and practical vision of the community at the heart of local governance, empowering communities to transform their local economies and wellbeing. Our key driver is to be giving agency to those who have the least sense of agency.
