#communityled #communitydriven #ethical #sustainable

We're at #HastingsCommons today (and what a glorious day it is!) looking at innovative model of community-driven revitalisation.

Jay Perkins, our CEO will be sharing learnings from our work later, alongside the #PGCollective on trying to move into the reimagining and healing space.

In #Hastings, Jess played a key role in the rescue of Hastings Pier, redeveloped Rock House as a mixed-use, creative, collaborative capped-rent space, and has gone on to develop the award-winning #HastingsCommons to tackle the threat of gentrification and enable DIY #regeneration.
