    Let’s build our own hope & power | w. Ambition Lawrence Weston & David Tudgey

    19/1/2026 | 36 mins.
    Over a pint in Lawrence Weston, Bristol, Mark Pepper and fellow residents decided they’d had enough of the community being ignored by politicians, the council and everyone else, so knocked on 3000 doors and asked their neighbours what mattered to them. Then, as a community, they set about delivering. In just a few years they have rewritten housing policy, brought a supermarket to a food desert and built a community-owned wind turbine that brings them an income, all creating a road map for self-built hope that could work anywhere.

    We then talk to David Tudgey about how the model proven by Lawrence Weston could work for communities everywhere. 

    Featuring: Mark Pepper, Donna Sealey, David Tudgey

    Introducing Screw this…Let’s try something else

    22/12/2025 | 1 mins.
    Ever find yourself wondering ‘Does everything have to be this broken?’ Join Maryam Pasha and Matt Golding, on a journey of the possible, to visit ordinary neighbourhoods doing something extraordinary.

    Each episode we’ll meet the folks who’ve had enough and are starting to say: “Screw this… let’s try something else” and are proving there are better ways to approach food, energy, housing and decision making – and then we’ll explore what the country could look like if these ideas spread.

    From a mission to reboot an empty high street in Northern Ireland, and people owned power in Bristol, to a Shropshire farm with 8000 community landlords, and a neighbourhood of tomorrow in Birmingham, come along on a road trip like no other, and get inspired. Because, even in our troubled times, real hope exists – if you know where to look. 

    Stay tuned for our 6th episode, where we’ll share tips on how to get started where you live - and invite you to take part in our survey - conducted with the University of Bristol - to see whether listening to this series has made you feel more hopeful.
