Community Projects
Acton Unframed
Co-founded Acton Unframed, a grassroots urban art project. We raised £54K through a Space Hive campaign, with strong support from the local community, local businesses, Acton BID, Ealing Council, the Acton Central Ward Forum and The Mayor of London and delivered 5 world-class street art murals around Acton, London.
Re’Store W3
Won GLA funding to open a shop and remakers space in Churchfield Rd, W3. Re’Store is dedicated to developing no-waste concepts and encouraging reselling, remaking and repurposing to extend the life of things we own.
Market W3
Curated and launched Market W3 for local charity Action West London over a three-month period from Oct 2021 to Dec 2021. We built up the market from 10 to 35 traders by putting fashion, food, music and art centre stage and, for a short time, creating a vibrant new hangout that inspired local entrepreneurship.
Acton Notebook/Churchfield Rd, W3
Launched social media pages and a local website to empower locals and support small business growth. The website and social media feeds are dedicated to shining a light on local people and projects, to inspire positive change in the W3 neighbourhood.
Acton Arts Project
Offered marketing support (social media and website design) to grassroots community group Acton Arts Project, who took over the Old Acton Library to build a local cinema in Acton.
