PLACE

Our surroundings are not just backdrops they are kin. Streets, buildings, parks, and commons carry memory, hold us in daily life, and shape how we belong. When places are neglected or sold off, it is not just bricks and mortar that are lost it is part of our shared body, our collective home.

Through Common Ground, we campaign for community stewardship of spaces under threat. We refuse to see pubs, halls, libraries, and community centres reduced to disposable assets. Instead, we treat them as family hearths places that hold warmth, connection, and care across generations.

When we act as though places are our relations, we restore them not just for use, but for belonging. Together, we can reclaim threatened spaces as anchors of solidarity, creativity, and resilience where the bonds between people and place are woven strong again.
