This week we're excited to announce a bunch more new public living rooms... opening up in...

Suffolk, Middlesborough, Weston-Super-Mare, Banwell and Bromsgove!

Welcome camerados - keep us updated on what you're up to!

Did you know it's #NationalBakingWeek this week?

What cake would you bring along to a public living room? Our favourite is a swiss roll 😋

Get the kettle on!

We'll help you to open your own public living room by sending you a box of goodies and handy tips, and by offering lots of friendly advice too.

Think you might be up for it? Find out a bit more here: camerados.org/set-up-a-publi…

Shout out to all the camerados all over the U.K. (and the world!) Wherever you are, and whatever you're doing, let us know so we can share it far and wide! 🌎

A very tense game of Connect4 underway earlier this week in Blackburn 😬

Connect4 has to be one of our favourite games. What game would you like to bring to a public living room?

This is something a camerado who has just opened a public living room told us 👏

It's great to see how public living rooms are bringing different folks together. Long may the dominos championships continue!

We had a ball last week during our Public Living Room in collaboration with Camerados
It was so good to meet & chat with new people, eat cake & biscuits, drink tea & coffee, listen to music & play board games. And what made it even better was that we did it all together! 🤲

A big hello to camerados who have opened new public living rooms this month in:

Coventry, Taunton, Lisburn Northern Ireland, Salisbury, Settle, Napton Marina, Blackburn and Fulwood in London

We love to see what camerados are up to so keep the pics coming!

It was great to be able to contribute to this guide to setting up 'warm banks' commissioned by Martin Lewis

We think warm spaces can be places of connection, and being alongside each other can help us through tough times.

We've had a very exciting start to October already with new public living rooms opening up in... drum roll...

Coventry, Taunton, Lisburn Northern Ireland, Salisbury, Settle, Napton Marina, Blackburn and Fulwood in London.

Welcome camerados! 👋

Dear Camerados Was the inclusion of Connect 4 in the box intended to inspire creative insults, comedic frustration and be the beginning of what is going to be ongoing battle? It worked if so! A lovely first #publiclivingroom Can't wait for next week. #bemorehuman

Not having a spare £2 can mean more than missing out on a latte, or not buying baked treat from Greggs... it can be the difference between being able to see a friend and not.

We believe that getting together can help us all through tough times.

Hats off 🧢 to the epic Martin Lewis for funding this guide from CILIP

We were chuffed to be a part of it and share what we've learnt about creating shared spaces that bring in the human as well as the warmth.

The guys from Trowbridge Public Living Room want to let you know that the next Living Room is on the 20th October, see poster below for details #camerados #trowbridgepubliclivingroom #nocatch #nolanyards

Over the past seven years, we've learned a few things about setting up spaces where people can connect.

Now there's so much talk about 'warm banks' we have a few ideas on how warm spaces can be made into more than that...

Now that it's officially autumn, we wanted to share this #flashback to a cosy camerados campfire.

Autumn is an under-rated season in our opinion. What do you think? 🍂

COMPETITION TIME!

Fancy a foot in the ‘dior’ of fashion design? (See what we did there?)

Why not enter our competition to create a new design for our merchandise range?
