The Village designs & manages inclusive, welcoming physical spaces to prepare communities for the changes of a warming climate. We are a space operator setting-up multi-use spaces which aggregate all things sustainable under one roof for communities and organisations tobuild climate and social resilience. Our impact is organised around 3 pillars of resilience:social, environmental, mental health & wellbeing resilience.During the financial year 2022/2023, The Village operated a pop-up in a community centre called the Factory Quarter Community Hub in Hammersmith and Fulham between September 2022 and December 2023. The space was open 4 days a week (Thursday to Sunday) andoffered affordable plant-based food and drinks, a play area for kids, a space rental for residents to organise events or birthdays, and we provided a holistic programme of events and workshops.Our operations benefited the community in multiple ways:The local community (residents of Factory Quarter and neighbourhood community) enjoyed a free community space that was closed for 13 years prior to us operating it. 2,501 visitors enjoyed the space during our 3 months of operations.629 people participated in events and workshops. 71 events and workshops have been organised around our pillars of resilience.45.8 kg of food given away to the local community.430.8kg of clothes, books and toys were swapped/donated to the local community, and the surplus was redistributed to local charities.22.45 tons of CO2 emissions were prevented, 377 cubic metres of water was prevented from waste.50 L of compost produced from organic waste and given away to the local garden used by the community.5 kg of oyster mushrooms produced and donated. Provided work opportunities for 15 volunteers, paid opportunities to 9 local residents and 4 local artisans.88 percentage participants of our survey said the Hub helped them to meet more people.100 percentage of participants said the Hub had a positive impact on their mental health. 65 percentage said it helped them ‘a lot’.1 word to describe the space was "Safe".82 percentage of participants said the Hub helped them raise their awareness of climate change.41 percentage said the Hub helped them reduce their waste, and reduce their animal product consumption.
Our principal stakeholders are local residents to our operations.We consulted with stakeholders through:1. A physical and online engagement programme prior to our operations at the Factory Quarter Community Hub. We delivered flyers to all neighbouring flats and houses to invite everyone to fill-in the online survey or come and talk to us in person on the 17th, 23rd and 24th of July.2. Continuous feedback loop during the operations.Consultation learnings:61% of respondents thought that their community wasn’t prepared for the effects of climate change. 56% of respondents were interested in a space dedicated to addressing these issues.38% of respondents had kids from different ages looking for creative and sport activities. We decided to offer a kid area to cater for their needs and create dedicated events for children such as Art Workshops, Ping Pong, reading classes, etc.When it comes to the type of events the community wanted to see social activities, environmental activities, and mental health & wellbeing activities. We created dedicated activities to support them such as mending, decoupage & upholstery workshops, small electronic repairs, affordable yoga, and seasonal activities.33% of respondents were interested in getting involved either by volunteering or organising events. This prompted the creation of a WhatsApp group with all interested parties which became a key tool to get support and spread the word.Continuous feedback loop:We kept track of the overall contemptment of the services provided during operations and it allowed us to tweak things on the go. Thanks to this monitoring, we increased the volume of yoga sessions to cater for different schedules, we included different types of snacks, we changed the way people could learn about events, etc.
