Homes Study Tour
Manchester
Date: 6th March 2012 - 6th March 2012
Venue:
Fee: FREE for community groups, £50 for professionals Funded through The Building Community Consortium
6 March 2012
To understand how local community groups have had an impact on their homes, we will visit two contrasting schemes in Manchester and Liverpool. We will first visit the Eldonian Village, a community-based housing development which has been running since the 80s and is often cited as a best practice example of community action. We'll spend the afternoon at Homes for Change, a housing co-operative in Hulme. Transport is provided.
This tour will be a chance to see what can be achieved through meaningful community involvement in the design process. You will meet other people undertaking projects like yours and be able to share experiences with them. We will be joined throughout the day by a design professional who will be able to answer technical questions and will be encouraging you to analyse the sites we visit.

We had an excellent day and the places we visited were amazingly close to what we are trying to create here in Stockwell. I am grateful for your acute interest in what we have to say
Can I once again thank Glass-House for all their help and interest. You are an excellent organisation – and the staff are lovely as well!”
The training experience was extremely enjoyable and very informative. We have come away with a design which we feel we can put into reality and the training was probably the best I have attended.
The course was excellent and I can't thank you and Glass-House enough for the support you've given us, it has made all the difference to the way we look at the project."
