COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT ON ABERFELDY STREET, POPLAR, AUGUST 2021

At our core is a membership scheme affordable to all, that gives residents a voice in the running of this Foundation, guiding us through decision making and direction. We are in the process of setting up a simple online application process, that will incorporate a Baseline Survey to inform us going forward, as to what is most needed now on the Aberfeldy estate where Tommy Flowers was himself born and raised. Collated responses will be shared amongst the Membership and Trustees, as to the focus of our future ambitions for the area, made visible through demonstrated need.

Using support from The Mayor's Cultural Team at City Hall as a Make London grant and match-funding from Tower Hamlets Innovation Fund, we have already delivered creative learning opportunities including six glassblowing sessions to 185 local people, waste cardboard upcycling workshops to 40 more and engaged 300 people to learn origami to improve wellbeing in group activities.
