Building Community Consortium
The Glass-House is a partner in the Building Community Consortium which supports local communities in England to take a more active role in place-shaping and the development of plans at a local level to ensure they reflect local needs and aspirations.
Our consortium is running a programme of free events and offering free tailored support for groups and individuals working towards positive neighbourhood change. Within this programme, groups can access a range of Glass-House Study Tours, Design Training Courses and Bespoke Workshops.
