Our friends at Living Well Together have been collating evidence from the field for submission to the Independent Commission on Community and Cohesion, a non-partisan, time-limited commission seeking to explore the challenges to our community. Some of these challenges arise from fresh expressions of old tensions. Others are derived from the emergence of new ones.
Based on our work in communities – such as our Knowable Communities Need Knowable Neighbours project with Black Hawk Hancock, Associate Professor of Sociology at DePaul University in Chicago; the Story of Splott in 50 Objects; and the Modern Cockney Festival – we have submitted evidence to the Commission.
You can read it below.
Email us to discuss any of these observations and recommendations further.
