Blackbird Community Project

We're a Northampton community group set up in 2021, spreading skills and proactivity, now working on freeing up people's time and money for the things they care about. 

If you can spare £2 each month, you will be doing more to support long-term community solutions than 97% of people who follow us! 

No one wants things to get worse, so it makes sense to work together to build safety for everyone.

Northampton is made up of many different people, but we all have the same basic needs - security, community, and a future worth fighting for. 

We promote community through events, education, and support. We have fundraised for local needs, international solidarity, and for community members who are unfairly targeted, such as people who are currently homeless, sex workers, asylum seekers, under-supported disabled people, and many others across the town.

As we grow, we aim to set up community-controlled housing and work places, putting regular people back in control of the things that keep them going in life. If solidarity becomes the norm, anything is possible. 

From 2024 onwards, all community project activity (aside from a few public fundraisers) has been paid for by our core group's wages, benefits, and occasional donations from community supporters. In order to set up a truly community-led housing structure, we will need to fundraise for the first property deposit as well as seek grant funding to pay basic wages for this first phase. 

Now is the time for unity.
