Friends and Purpose: Stories from sofas on streets and some confounding ideas for tough times - Softcover
Inhaltsangabe
"As political narratives focus on division, Maff Potts finds connection and joy in the extraordinary, ordinary network of public living rooms" - Anoosh Chakelian, Britain Editor, The New Statesman "The Mighty Maff on top form: Provocative and funny and seriously serious. Soul soaringly, shit stirringly special. Camerados are the revolution that the world needs now" - David Robinson, co-lead The Relationship Project and "Godfather of the community sector" "Maff's activism inspires, provokes, teaches and entertains. So does his book. Highly Recommended" - Liam Black, author of "How to Lead with Purpose" In this book you find out what people say when they come across a sofa, some armchairs and an entire living room in the middle of the street. What you hear are some remarkable and often very funny and very touching stories. Either side of these chapters, Maff Potts shares some of the more surprising things he has learnt about humans and humanity when working in the social justice world with people who have very tough lives. He finds the answer lies in humans, not institutions.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor
Maff Potts has spent 30 years working and volunteering in the social justice sector. This included turning the Millennium Dome into a homeless shelter; running the biggest homeless service in the UK; building a new generation of homeless centres in England for the British Government; and being CEO of a national charity and a housing association. Maff left traditional forms of social change in 2015 when he started the social movement Camerados in his bedroom. As of January 2025 there are 260 Public Living Rooms in 6 countries worldwide, in libraries, hospitals, parks, community centres-wherever the community can find space and a sofa or two. Maff is also a jazz piano player, co-founder of a jazz club and has, for many years, run an after-school club for 8 - 11 year olds called "Funky Friday". www.camerados.org

paperback. Zustand: Good. Herriman, Victoria (illustrator). Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only. Artikel-Nr. mon0000123860
