‘How to Live Free in London’
with Katharine Hibbert
Saturday 14th August, 5pm
_________________________________________
Join author, journalist and squatter Katherine Hibbert to find out all you need to know about living free in London.
_______________________________
Journalist Katharine Hibbert decided to give it all up for a year: no job, no rented flat, no shopping, no debit card and no travel pass. She walked the streets with only a backpack and spent an entire year living off the food, clothes, other goods and accommodation that would otherwise go to waste. It would be a year of squatting, scavenging and no spending. Along the way, she learned to fend for herself, to trust the generosity of strangers and friends and to build a life using the things that others throw away.
The experience has changed her life, and she is now an active member of the Advisory Service for Squatters. Join Katharine to find out all you need to know about living free in London.
Whether you are tired of the daily grind and considering a change in lifestyle, or just a bit curious, join ‘Skipaholic’ Katherine to find out all you need to know about living free in London.

She wasn't living free. She was living off the labour of others while not contributing any thing socially positive .
