These photographs are from three of the projects I have documented during this decade, projects where small diverse groups from the grass roots have come together to build things. Artists, community activists, gardeners, chefs, bakers, musicians, business people, architects, people of all ages and walks of life have contributed to projects like Homebaked, Squash and the Northern Flowerhouse. These projects are far from alone, these are just the ones I have been closest to for a number of years. To me they are more than just symbols of hope in dark times, they are what it’s all about.

You can pop in to the Unity Theatre to see the rest of the pictures any time the box office is open during the month. The pictures are available for sale as prints at very reasonable prices, you can just email me to sort that out.

Many thanks to Homebaked Anfield, Squash Nutrition, the Northern Flowerhouse and the Unity Theatre. You can find them all online or in Liverpool.
