    How to build more compassionate, progressive and sustainable communities

    This is part 2 of a two-part series with Thomas ‘TJ’ Clynch of Civic Mind in Hartford, Connecticut, USA. Thomas founded Civic Mind in 2011 as the political and economic climate of the “Great Recession” created a market in demand for social impact through community organisation, creativity, and collaboration. In this episode, Thomas dives further into the chequered story behind the redevelopment of Dillon Stadium. This includes how it has led Thomas into legal action with personnel at his local City council – twice! He then goes on to talk about public policy, before sharing his vision for how social equity and economic justice can be leveraged to build more compassionate, progressive and sustainable communities.   Resources and links: www.civicmind.com https://yankeeinstitute.org/2020/07/20/the-fitch-files-attorney-generals-office-refuses-to-investigate-dillon-stadium-deal-but-questions-remain/ https://www.si.com/nfl/2017/01/23/nfl-new-england-patriots-abandoned-move-hartford-connecticut   Connect: More information about Civic Mind Connect with Steve Cooper on LinkedIn This show is produced in collaboration with Wavelength Creative.

    Who cares for the carers?

    Martina Clark became a carer for my best friend Anoula, who died from cancer in 2015. She discovered how hard it was to find resources and services to make her friend's time more comfortable and manageable while looking after her health in the process. Wanting to improve support systems for individuals and families who care for a person during and beyond a cancer diagnosis, Martina built the Carers Couch, alongside a team of passionate and dedicated people who understand the importance of human connections and ongoing support. Every day they strive to provide innovative, relevant support to those carers who need it most.   Resources and links: Visit the Carers Couch website: https://www.carerscouch.com/ Follow Carers Couch on: Carers Couch on Facebook Carers Couch on Twitter Carers Couch on LinkedIn Download the Carers Couch app: Apple App Store Google Play Store   Connect: More information about Civic Mind Connect with Steve Cooper on LinkedIn This show is produced in collaboration with Wavelength Creative.
