We're delighted to share the news that Living Here made it to the final of the Homes and Communities Academy Awards 2009. This is the government's national award scheme for sustainable communities. The winner was announced on Thursday 4 June 2009. Living Here didn't win but it was one of only four projects shortlisted in the category. It is thanks to all of the many individuals, groups and communities who get involved that Living Here is taking on a life of its own. Here's a flavour of how Living Here is strengthening communities through culture and heritage. Whether you've taken part or you're new to this idea, please add a comment to any page...
