A note on : Workhome project shortlisted for Davidson prize

Really lovely to be a small part of the team for the Workhome Project, and the Co Living Works concept, which has been recently shortlisted for the davidson prize https://thedavidsonprize.com/awards/2022/co-living-works

My role has been to write new poetry, and then hand write some other new poetry onto the proposal lead image, as a kind of poet in residence for the group made up of architects, designers, urbanists and the like. More on the prize and project below and Vote here to support co living works

“Addressing pressing cross-generational issues of loneliness and worklessness, visible social infrastructure is proposed for disused buildings close to people’s homes. Post-Covid disused shops and offices defining 15-minute neighbourhoods will be opened up for activities that might start with sharing a cup of tea and a biscuit and grow to sharing washing- or sewing machines, or childcare.

By providing shared spaces for children, young adults and older citizens, Co-Living Works! sets off a new age of inclusive urban co-living, celebrating the diversity and cultural richness of our cities by bringing together people who would not normally meet.”
