The Working Centre - Community Tools Projects

Our local economy is changing – jobs are disappearing, the economic bubble is deflating. As people find their jobs disappearing and/or their income being reduced, are there ways to make positive changes to live well on less?

We will work together … "on acquiring skills and seizing opportunities to produce more necessities and luxuries of life on our own or in small groups. Unemployment (or a reduced income) need not mean the loss of the good life, but a chance to redefine the good life in a more genuine, joyful and sustainable way, more in terms of producing power than purchasing power."
-Ken Westhues
