Are you a householder sharing our interest in community-led building improvement? Are you looking to get assistance and connect with other groups and create change? You can be an individual or a community group or organisation of any size. Perhaps you’re interested in starting one in your community – at building, street or neighbourhood level, or among those with similar needs? Owner or tenant – please sign up to our mailing list so we can help you.
Are you a provider of professional or trade services for this work?

Perhaps you want to extend your skills into this area, or connect with others working in the field? Please sign up to our mailing list so we can help you.
