At this time of political and economic turmoil, our communities are facing challenges which will affect so many of us.
In 1844 the Rochdale Pioneers used their earnings to found their community co-operative. This was to provide what was required by the people.
A democratic process had begun and life improved over time for many. At the heart of this was communities. They worked hard for one another, with each other and the times, not unlike today, were challenging. To tackle today’s problems, we will require that same level of commitment from communities.
Fresh Start, in partnership with the Robert Owen Society, are realistic about what can be achieved and that the roots of our solutions are in identifying what the communities require.
We are creating models for problems and identifying strategies. We are moving quickly now behind the scenes. This has been hard work but Fresh Start is confident that by bringing communities together, we can create with the people, a way forward.
Our interviews with those who could help us begin this Thursday 26th May 2022. If you feel that your skill or knowledge could contribute to helping South Wye in any way, then we would like to hear from you.
