Last week I visited a recently opened Community Fridge in Plymouth, the result of a new partnership between environmental charity Hubbub and the Co-op, being run by the Kintsungi Project in Stonehouse.

I'm looking forward to being a mentor on the scheme, to share what I've learned and help more women become involved in political life.

Today, we are launching a new chapter in our movement's rich history, through the South Yorkshire Ownership Hub.

Communities can help protect loved local places from being sold off through listing them as Assets of Community Value - but we still need greater change to give communities power.
