A free market is a market where you can get clothes, shoes, books, furniture bric a brac, and it is all completely free. Anyone can come and even bring unwanted goods and services to donate, you can recycle all your old things and give them a new home, in the mean time taking away goods for yourself.

We believe in a system that isn`t based on hierarchy, money and oppression, everyone is entitled to food and clothes and shelter. Everyone has things they don`t want anymore, and everyone has things they need, so if we combine the two, maybe we can solve this problem, bring the community together and show that we will not be controlled by selfish corporations who put profit over people.

Come and see what’s on offer this Sunday when we’ll be open with tea, coffee, vegan snacks, and other wonderful things!

Happy Birthday to us! http://redandblackumbrella.squat.net/?p=1387 http://redandblackumbrella.squat.net/?p=1387#comments Fri, 31 Oct 2014 17:01:38 +0000 rb http://redandblackumbrella.squat.net/?p=1387 The Red and Black Umbrella is now three years old!

Running a Social Centre isn’t easy, and the last few months have been particularly challenging.

We aim to continue to be a resource for the community and will be going through what could be our last winter together in the ‘ol Tred, and to kick off the 4th year of Red and Black events and activities, we’ve put together a week of anniversary events that capture the spirit of what the last three years have been about…

The programme for the week so far:anniv3
