We are very grateful for a brilliant team and for us all to have time together to reflect, plan and dream for @theportlandinnprojectcic 🌞 This week we had 2 days together in Buxton, where team members shared what we have been working on this last year and discussed how we can support each other in a year that marks a huge milestone for our organisation. It’s been ten years of @theportlandinnprojectcic and ten years of work in our neighbourhood. We are so excited for what 2026 holds!
Our Neighbourhood Workshop is going to be popping with so much street level activity and skills sharing that continues to strengthen our community, organisation and neighbourhood. This year is importantly the year we ready ourselves to take on managing an ambitious community asset, so there is a lot to plan and do together to ensure our organisation does this confidently and collaboratively with our neighbours.
Beautiful food cooked together, joyful laughter and dreaming collectively is a crucial part of this work 🌞 Thanks again to our team for continued graft and care on this journey!

We are loving being part of Retrofit Connect, the Street Demonstrator & Incubator Programme, part of the living ecosystem movement to make community-led retrofit the norm, not the exception. It has connected us to knowledge, skills and a community of practice moving forwards with retrofit projects in communities across the country. This week the intro publication was launched (link in bio) which describes the project and those taking part. This is just the start and we wholeheartedly recommend following @nationalretrofithub and @civic_square for future updates and news of future programmes. Also check out the publication via the link which is a hopeful song to community led development. #retrofitconnect #retrofitreimagined #communityleddevelopment

We thought we’d gather feedback from some of our collaborating neighbours, creatives and contractor while we reflect and prepare for the move into our building this year.
We are entering the final stages of the retrofit of our future building - from a derelict pub to a community and arts centre.
It’s been a long, collaborative process of ten years - from negotiating the community asset transfer to the retrofit development of the building with an architectural plan (led by Godson Egbo) with neighbours.
We’ll keep trying to update you every step of the way. Thank you for your support. And thank you to our team for all your graft and care! ✊🌞💛✨
