Every One Every Day builds on the ‘hands on’ projects that people have been creating over the last few years in their own neighbourhoods. These types of projects welcome people from all walks of life.

• Sharing skills, spaces and resources.• Families working and playing more together. • Batch cooking and community meals. • Food growing and tree planting. • Trading, making and repairing.

The team will make things very simple – including:

  • Find you useful spaces for the projects (kitchens, workshops storage spaces etc.)

  • Supplying materials and equipment for practical activities – no form filling for grants.

  • By arranging insurances and health and safety.

  • Holding festivals, workshops and business programmes.
