It is a non-profit fiscally sponsored by New York Foundation for the Arts. I put SORR into the Creative Commons so that it may be shared. Volunteers throughout the world produce SORR events which have taken place in over 100 cities. I welcome individuals and communities to produce SORR where they live. The Model Contribute - When you attend the swap bring at least one bag of your unwanted clothing and a small donation (each swap varies depending on available funding).

Participatory Cities: Making Citizenship Engaging with ‘Plotting Sheds’ This post is also available in: German The potting shed is a familiar signifier of a place where grumpy old men escape for some time to themselves.
More recently, the ‘shed’ idea has been picked up by organisations like Age UK and Mensheds Australia as places where men can find company and improve their health and wellbeing. I’d like to suggest a different twist for London: the plotting shed. Not a place of escape, but one where citizens of all ages and backgrounds and irrespective of gender can meet to engage with the society around them and have their say on the issues of the moment.
Despite the wealth of resources and opportunities to express ourselves available through social media and online petitions, Londoners remain only peripherally involved in the decisions that affect them every day.

It’s been a very exciting journey! We are thrilled to be starting Makerhood Norwood, covering makers in West Norwood, Streatham and Crystal Palace.
