hello and the grassroots directory
Charlotte Du Cann
Spring greetings from Suffolk! I'm getting in touch as Mark and I have just launched a crowdfunder for a new collaborative publication called The Grassroots Directory with the wonderful Unbound Books. It's a sort of Transition Free Press 'bumper annual' and aims to showcase some of the most exciting community-led projects in the UK (including Cambridge CropShare, Magdalen Street Celebration and other great East Anglian initiatives).
If you'd like to pre-order a book and/or circulate this email to your own networks that would be terrific. You can read all about the project, make a pledge and watch our short video here: (you might recognise the location!)

A short description: The
Grassroots Directory is an A-Z guide featuring more than 200
enterprises and co-operative ventures in grassroots Britain, travelling from
Allotments to Zero waste and everywhere in-between. Follow us as we join the dots
between repair cafes, local currencies, seeds swaps, urban farms and find out
where they are, what makes them tick, and how to set one up in your own
hometown. The Directory was inspired by many years documenting community
projects, including in the national grassroots newspaper Transition Free Press.
It will be a fully illustrated, all colour, action-packed sourcebook and we
would love you to be part of it. It would be great if you could support this collective writing project and help us get into print. All pledges. publicity and suggestions for entries very welcome. Thanks a lot!
Charlotte and Mark
