Getting Organised With Neighbours

Once you have got some swapping and sharing going, residents can get organised at a deeper level:

  • Supporting: Child care network, gardening club
  • Taking action: improving a local park, Neighbourhood Watch
  • Life-skills: DIY, bike/car maintenance, cooking, first aid, computers, painting, playing an instrument, dancing, singing
  • Inter-generations: older and young people swapping expertise like reading, baking, computers.
