Living Communities CIC was founded in September 2023 and we spent the next months planning, designing and really understanding the needs of our local community and the best way we were going to approach our work with them. Funding is currently extremely competitive, you're lucky if you win 1 in 5 grants currently so we applied for more than we won. We are looking into creative ways to generate more funds that aren't reliant on grants. Our first project in March 24 was a focus on greening up Tooting, South London. The area is very urban and has dangerous high levels of pollution. We were awarded a grant via Hubbub to create a Living Wall in an alleyway within Tooting. We collaborated with Share Community, a charity that works with adults with disabilities. The work is still on-going, the first phase was creating the wall and this is now complete. The biodiversity in the area has improved and we will be testing the air quality for positive changes. It's open to all and is the first public living wall in Tooting. 20 adults from Share Community benefited from being trained in horticulture. The general public, in their hundreds will be able to reflect and relax in front of the Living Wall. In June 24 we were awarded funding by Rother District Council to run a Big Lunch in collaboration with Eden Project Communities and a local cafe for the residents of London Road, Bexhill. A story for your lunch, if people told us a story about London Road they got a free lunch. It benefited 60 residents in Bexhilll who enagaged in a positive, social and creative day as well as the cafe who were funded to cook and provide the food for the lunch. In July 24 we were awarded funding by Chalk Cliff Trust for days out for young neurodivergent young people in East Sussex. The first day was at a local farm in Robertsbridge, we worked alongside the farm owners and their rescue horses to create a magical, creative, theraputic day for the young people, many who feel isolated and unheard. The second day was a creative day in Hastings Art Gallery and Museum, we were shown around an exhibition by the curator and then we took part in an art response. Both days were extremely beneficial to the participants, not only in their confidence, but in their creativity as well as giving them the opportunity to meet people of their own age. 12 young people plus their carers/parents were given days out of their norm, to stimulate creativity and to connect with therapy horses that are trained to support people that struggle with the 'norm', 12 young people plus their carers/parents had a creative, positive day in an space that most had not visited before. Overall considering we had limited funding for our first year we offered varied and positive projects to the communities of Tooting and Bexhill.
