This Friday 29 September, from 10 am – 4pm, Chalton Street market will be themed as the community day market. There will be a wide range of local traders, engaging activities and entertainment stalls. It’s the first of a series of community markets that will happen every last Friday of the month, except in December when it will take place on the 22nd. We are inviting anyone who wants to have a go at having a stall in the market to contact us. Perhaps you want to sell things you make, second-hand stuff or preloved clothes. You can have a go for free and be supported to run your stall. Contact: <a href="http://ourlittlemarketscic@outlook.com">ourlittlemarketscic@outlook.com</a>for more information. Drop by and participate. Be part of the dream to have a local market that is a space for old and new connections to be made, for learning and exchanging of ideas.

The strategy was brought together over a period of a year, commencing with our launch event in February 2022 followed by a range of community engagement events across 2022 and six focused workshops that ran from November 2022 to March 2023. The approach to developing the strategy brought together the United Nations Development Goals, Human Rights, and the local and global context of the climate emergency, whilst ensuring the context was real and relevant to local people facing the worst cost of living crisis in a generation. The strategy is here to inform interventions taking place in Somers Town going forward and we will be looking at the mechanisms for this to be the case whilst keeping the strategy live and up to date.
