Accommodation

Working on providing indoor accommodation for groups or individuals and setting up and running protest camps. Edited_Campsite_2022-(1).jpg

The Accommodation Team work hard to help everyone find a place to stay for major events (usually rebellions in London).

We aim to provide a safe space for anyone in need; people who otherwise would not be able to come to London and places where rebels can rest and regenerate after a long day’s protest.

The number of camps and indoor accommodation organised depends on the number of rebels registering. Managing accomodation needs extensive planning, as it will involve infrastructure, essentials, and preparing to be camping in more than one park. Please see volunteering roles below.

Camping

Campsite specific locations are not normally released until just before we open them. This is to avoid unwanted attention from the public. We aim to cooperate with local communites as far as possible - if you live in London and there is a community area possibly suitable for camping near you, please let us know.

Camping in London at Rebellions

Join the London Campers Community Telegram Group for updates and to communicate with other potential campers.

Managing the camp(s) will be a daunting task. We need campers to volunteer at least a few hours help - we are all crew! Please join the London Campers Volunteer Chat, where you can connect to other volunteers.

Camping in public spaces in London is illegal, however XRUK liaises with local authorities and the Met Police to ensure camps are safe. Locations will only be released once the local authorities have been contacted approximately 7 days before, at which point they are more likely to be supportive.

Contact the Accommodation Team by email if you have any questions: xr.accommodation@proton.me

Indoor Accommodation

We aim to secure as many indoor spaces as possible, such as church halls, mosques, community centres, warehouses and sports halls.

  • Could you offer space in your home or camping in your garden?
  • Do you know any spaces in London that might be suitable?

commuUnityHome

In addition, there is comUnityHome accommodation.

CommUnityHome is an online marketplace for shelter that connects hosts with campaigners needing a bed. By... Organising and Unifying people around a compassionate circular economic structure. Identifying the harm done by those people, groups and communities in creating wealth and its ongoing accumulation who have a significant influence over whether we can build an economy that is regenerative and redistributive. Lighting the spark for revolutionary, systemic and equitable transformation.

If you have a spare bed to share - register as a host.
If you need accommodation, register as a guest an then make a booking.

For details on how it works see here.
