Friday, 24 March Cécile Schnyder – L’Arche – How to live community well enough? L’Arche Community is a Christian, international community in which people with and without learning disabilities share daily life together. We work together, share a house together, pray together, go to the pub together, but it is not always easy. We are people like you, people with different abilities, different opinions and different ideas. So how do we live community? This evening will bring you a short introduction to the life of Jean Vanier (founder of L’Arche) and L’Arche international. As a long- term member of L’Arche I will tell you something about our community in London and introduce you to some of my friends. Together we will discover what it means to live community. Friday, 19 May Charlotte Steel – What does it take to make a community farm? Charlotte Steel, General Manager will tell us the story of Sutton Community Farm, one of London's largest community food growing spaces right here in our borough. The journey began back in 2010 when the idea of a local farm was first conceived.
