Thank you to everyone who came along to Eastlight Community Homes' first All In Ideas Festival! It was an chance to share the inspiring ways our communities are coming together to make a difference – not least our All In Community teams and alliances. Thanks to all who made it happen!

#dogsatpollingstations time with Hollie!

We’re excited to introduce All In to 1,200 leading politicians, community pioneers and top academics at #StrongerThings 2023 today. The annual New Local event is the place to be for anyone passionate about the power of community to take on the big issues that matter.

Great to share All In at #StrongerThings. 20 Essex residents, 4 missions, 12 months. Spontaneous applause for our community entrepreneurs from the 700 people in the room. Great to be around people as passionate as we are Eastlight Community Homes about radical community power.

It’s been 12 months since we launched All In – can you believe it? 🤯 It’s been a challenging but rewarding year for all involved and we can't wait to see what they get up to next. Click the link to find out more: bit.ly/43zqgpD

Very happy to say my work with the Eastlight Community Homes Comms Team to tell the story of All In has been shortlisted in the CIPR East Anglia PRide awards non profit category. It was a brilliant opportunity to celebrate the heroes of our story - inspiring ppl in our communities
