Some of us working in the homelessness sector in the city are going to spend January reading this inspiring book Radical Help by Hilary Cottam.

Radical Help is about new ways of organising living and growing that have been developed with communities across Britain...

...Radical Help shows how we can make change and how we can make a transition now towards a new system that can take care of everyone.

Nicholas Timmins, the biographer of the welfare state, wrote ‘Humane and beautifully written… there are powerful ideas here. This book should be required reading for every politician, professional and manager who seeks to make the UK a better place.’ Prospect

We will then meet on 1st Feb, over tea and cake, to share our responses to the book - things we recognise in the work we’re already doing; ideas we could explore applying; or indeed anything else that comes to mind.

If you’d like to join/find out more get in touch with Kate.
