+ Secure 2-8 Ashwin Street (currently Arcola Tent site) for community and cultural use

With a vision for building something meaningful, our founder brings a blend of big-picture thinking and hands-on experience. They set the tone for everything we do.

A vibrant mural depicting diverse people protesting with signs and banners, playing instruments, and advocating for peace, justice, and environmental issues. The artwork includes imagery of balloons, animals, and symbolic elements like skulls and clocks.

+ Ensure the protection of the Hackney Peace Carnival Mural

Focused, approachable, and driven by results, our sales manager is all about building strong relationships. They help connect people to the right solutions—with clarity and care.

+ Develop a link between Ashwin Street and the Bootyard that incorporates the Ashwin Arts Centre

Creative and strategic in equal measure, our marketing director brings fresh ideas to every campaign. They turn insights into action and help our message resonate with the right audience.

+ Secure the Bootyard for continued social and cultural use

The Bootyard is where The Dusty Knuckle and 40FT Brewery started and flourished. In Hackney Borough Council's local development plan for Dalston, the Bootyard is identified as an 'opportunity site', which means it might be sold for development as part of a bigger project. We want to ensure that the Bootyard remains a vibrant community and cultural space by agreeing a long lease with Hackney Borough Council or its purchase - as happened with V22.
