We are always searching to make a difference, and thats not a straightforward aim. The post-pandemic world has just magnified so many existing social, financial and disability issues and marginalised many thousands more. We couldn’t be prouder to announce our most important and disruptive collaboration so far as we join forces with “Robin Hood Developer” Lemon Leopard to raise funds and awareness for the first of their permanent and affordable co-housing communities at 186 Hackney Road, London EC1. This building houses our wonderful music partners Folklore Hoxton who are heavily involved in the scheme and no one who visits Folklore can fail to be bowled over by its vibrancy, energy and strong community ethos. Lemon Leopard’s pilot scheme at Folklore, utilising the floors above, will allow the most marginalised the opportunity to own equity stakes, and access to community support and creative jobs within a vibrant hub. Lemon Leopard’s concept of reclaiming unused high street premises which have become unviable post covid, and creating a co-living and co-working creative environment for those struggling with social exclusion, disability or homelessness is both brilliant and necessary. Watch out for more news on our plans with Lemon Leopard soon. More info here: https://www.lemonleopard.org.uk/
