Costs

Each card describes an action the group could take and is labelled with a cost level from 1 to 5.

The cost levels are intended to reflect the level of planning a group might need to do to bring about the change:

actions the group might decide to just go ahead and do immediately

actions that might only take delegated decisions to a property management committee

in-between actions

actions where groups are likely to have to raise funds via the community or grants

actions likely to require substantial grant fund-raising and planning, including evidence of community engagement events and donations from the local community

The costs will be highly variable for some of the cards, so these are very rough judgments. They are probably biased towards traditional buildings in lower occupancy.
