Iver Villages Together – acting local, thinking global

Iver Villages Together (aka Iver Villages Transition) is a group of residents involved in other large-scale community-led projects including affordable homes and wildlife recovery.

These projects are on-going.

Inspired by the Transition Movement we are keen to explore in parallel several smaller scale projects, which would help maintain the enthusiasm and cohesion of these whilst also address pressing local needs and reinforce existing social capital.

We currently have a lively – approx 45 strong -WhatsApp group created as a safe place to freely and without judgement  – off Facebook therefore ! – to explore high social and environmental value -low cost- high engagement- low carbon – projects which could be run with just two or three members supported by the wider group.

Following our Formation we settled upon Nature Recovery and Wellbeing for the focus of several small scale Micro-Projects . These have in common Min Environmental Damage, Low Cost (time and money) and Max Empowerment and Max Community Impact

These have included so far: Green-Grow-Boxes , Green-Art-Boxes …Wellbeing Boxes and Help 4 Households and Carers & Carer WApp mutual support groups.

Working with local Residents Associations we are now making plans for an Ivers Community Assembly the first stage of which is the formation of 3 Village Panels for each of the villages to co-design that assembly and how to move ot forward.

Most recently and building upon our version of Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) we now have more ambitious project plans for Tiny Forests, Community Woodland, Gardens and Orchards and a Time Bank & Credit Union .

We are in Storming Mode
