Company activities and impact

Roman Road Trust CIC is a local community organisation contributing to the improvement of the Roman Road area, in E3 London, for the benefit of residents, businesses and regular visitors. Roman Road Trust works to support the high street, its heritage, as well as surrounding community projects/groups. We operate in one of the poorest boroughs in the country – Tower Hamlets in east London. RRT’s vision is for a thriving high street that forms the heart of a flourishing local community. In the year 2025, the Trust was focused on trying to activate usage of the Common Room community space, while also seeking funding to continue to develop the space by building much needed toilet and kitchen facilities. Our main activities this year were: - Maintained Roman Road Trust website and Instagram page to maintain networks and reach local audiences - Maintained the Bow Heritage Trail and associated website, to document the existing Bow Heritage Trail and add new virtual waypoints to develop it to record local heritage and local people’s hidden histories. - Continued to operate The Common Room community space, including making it available for hiring by local residents, community organisations or other interested parties. - Provided a space for local residents to collect fresh vegetable boxes from a local sustainable food initiative (Growing Communities) to provide them with easy access to fresh vegetables with a very low environmental impact.

Consultation with stakeholders

Roman Road Trust’s key stakeholders are: Residents of Bow and Globe Town Businesses in Roman Road in the Bow and Globe Town areas The local authority Schools, faith groups, community organisations, charities This year, consultation was carried out through: Physical presence from time to time in The Common Room community building. Activation sessions with local community organisers. Online engagement with local residents, businesses and community organisers. What actions have been taken? Now that the build of the Common Room has completed, our focus has shifted to trying to activate and promote usage of the space. This has included inviting local groups into the space and offering rental on low price terms for locals or community groups. We have also partnered with a local sustainable and low food-miles community organisation to provide a space that they can use for their organic vegetable box scheme, which makes use of an out of the way space in The Common Room and brings people in the local community who use the vegetable box scheme into contact with it.
