(⚠️Warning ~ long, personal post⚠️) In honour of this year marking the centenary of the Housing and Town Planning Act 1919, which kick-started the first widespread programme of social house building, I would like to share my own memory of growing up in social housing in the 80s & 90s. It gave me such a solid foundation. Literally. Alas 100 years since the act was passed, the chronic lack of social housing is at the centre of the national housing emergency, which means across the UK, millions of people are facing a daily struggle for a place to call home. Whatever your economic status, having stability and security gives us all the chance to lay down roots and formulate plans and dreams for the future, which can transform a life. In the case of social housing, when people think of a ‘council estate’ I’m sure warm, fuzzy feelings aren’t the first things that spring up, however my experience growing up was just that - there was so much support, care and sharing on my estate, between people from all different backgrounds, cultures and walks of life. Firstly 5 of us lived in a tiny 2 bed, but instead of feeling cramped, it was a home full of love and laughter and our flat was often a hub of social activity! Outside the neighbours would stand on the balconies sharing stories, the estate kids all playing out together sharing toys and treats. And everyone took pride in the estate and their little lot - residents often out washing their windows & hanging laundry. Locks were on permanent latch for neighbours to go from flat to flat to borrow or loan, or to share in the simple enjoyment of a cuppa or a beer and a bag of Bombay mix! It was true group living, a true community. And the tinkling tune of the ice cream man’s rounds each Summer evening definitely brought all the kids to the yard!!! And we’d share our pennies to make sure everyone got something. Such wonderful, fond memories of a time of utter freedom and security! Let’s strive to end the housing crisis and help more people create communities and make good memories by building a movement to bring about positive change. #mysocialhousingstory #buildsocialhousing

red.jester My mum and dad split up when I was 9 and we had to move to social housing. It was just me, my mum and my big brother and I used to get bullied at school because I live in a council house and my mum couldn't afford brand name stuff or expensive holidays. It never bothered me, I was raised by two punks so I was never into brand name stuff or materialistic in any way. All I cared about was trying to make my mum happy because she suffered with pretty severe depression too. I'm 25 now and still in social housing, had to move into a wee flat after my mum passed away 3 years ago and still feel like I'm struggling sometimes but I'm slowly getting to where I want to be. I'm now toying with the idea of getting out of office work and pursuing something more creative because that's definitely more who I am. And i still fire on Doctor Who when I'm struggling, it makes me feel safe 😊 Its so nice to see someone like yourself post something like this, gives me a bit of hope that I'll make something of myself...eventually 😂

europe2021 Tears in my eyes and a smile. Mine was 3 blocks in a small midwest town. Yes, some looked down on those 3 blocks. They didn't see the sisterhood of "mommas". Children skipping rope, climbing trees, sharing dinner w/a neighbor when parents work late. And, don't misbehave at school. Another mom would give you the look and time out for sure at home:( Minimum $ but the love is stamped on my heart for ever. I've tried to bring this into my home and community. Thank you for sharing your beautiful story. Count Me to visit @sheltercharity. Those life experiences are a 🎁.

stormiecreations Social housing here is so desperately needed. We've never really had widespread social housing in the USA. It's all too expensive everywhere and low income housing is pretty much a joke. Shelter is a human right. I live in student family housing now. It's kinda crappy tbh. But it's a roof over mine and my children's heads. And the other families and us here.. we have our own community. Outside playing in the space between buildings. Etc.

theoncomingpolicebox You got me crying. I used to live in this environment until I was seven years old. Then, we moved out and things were never the same again. These roots I had were taken from me and I feel like I don’t belong anywhere anymore. Wherever I went (schools, towns), I felt rejected because I wasn’t one of theirs. Over twenty years had passed now but the feeling is still here. It’s like I don’t belong anywhere. And that freaking hurts.

sophie.beynon Growing up on a council estate definitely shaped part of who I am today, and the way I teach my children to view the world. I never see that sense of community any more. There’s undoubtedly much work to be done to ensure everyone has a place to call home.

angelic.upstart It’s still like a badge of shame to say you grew up on a council estate or live on one today but it shouldn’t be and it’s very refreshing to hear a celebrity speak on this. Thank you for your important post Freema. You’re amazing in New Amsterdam 👍🏻❤️
