Anna has been on a research trip as part of the Retrofit Connects learning journey we have been part of this year - organised by The @nationalretrofithub and @civic_square .
First was a visit to @giroscope_hull to see their beautiful community developed building and some of the houses they are currently working on as part of their Community Led Housing offer which brings long term empty properties back into use as genuinely affordable and safe homes.

Then we headed over to Leeds to see the truly inspiring work of @canopyhousing , championing bio based materials in their retrofit projects and working with community volunteers, training them in building and housing development skills to transform problem houses into beautiful and sustainable homes with and for people.
They are a Community Land Trust and Community Benefit society and shared so much knowledge and insight into proving it’s possible to work with communities to develop housing with dignity.

Huge thanks to everyone for generous sharing and to the Retrofit Connects folks for solidarity and hope.

🌱 Gardening Club Update 🌱

Today we gave one of the planters in our green space a little makeover! We removed some of the old soil and topped it up with plenty of manure to give our plants the best start.

While digging, we discovered lots of bulbs hidden in the soil. We carefully replanted them and think they might be tulips 🌷 we'll have to wait and see!

We also planted our PIP Pumpkin 🎃. What colour do you think it will be when it grows? Let us know your guesses!

A big thank you to one of our lovely neighbours, who has kindly offered to water it regularly and help keep it growing strong during this warm weather. We can't wait to watch it grow!
