About us

Who we are

Our mission is to deliver affordable and sustainable creative health practices for all, and spaces to come together.

We do this by:

· curating unique, meaningful, free or low-cost creative activities, rooted in social change, to support health and wellbeing;

· creating spaces that are safe and open where people can take part, shop sustainably and enjoy healthy food;

· offering affordable offices for organisations and practitioners who provide additional services to our community and beyond;

· giving support to emerging artists to refine their work and take creative risks;

· defining creative health as the means by which creativity will become the heart of public health.

A DIVERSE CULTURAL PROGRAMME >> We organise and host a wide variety of events, including exhibitions film screenings, gigs, open mics, spoken word nights, theatre and comedy performances as well as one-off festivals.

ARTS >> We see the arts as a route to community building, wellbeing and social change. Our workshop, the Create Place, is a rare animal in London: an inclusive space for the community to be together and share skills. We curated a great mixture of free weekly classes and one-off workshops and classes for everyone. We continue to develop, support and coordinate projects that respond to contemporary issues faced by the UK creative industries .

WELLBEING >> Our wellbeing programme is designed to bring people together to improve their physical and mental health. Yoganest , our cosy studio provides our range of low-cost yoga, pilates, and dance classes .

AWARD- WINNING VEGAN FOOD & DRINKS >> We're committed to making delicious food that proves that a vegan diet doesn't mean missing out on your favourite dishes. Our Gallery Café has many locally-sourced options as well as a choice of drinks and baked goodies .

SUSTAINABLE SHOPPING >> Shop till you drop at Ayoka, our very own charity shop, stacked to the brim with beautiful vintage and designer treasures.

CHARITABLE ECOSYSTEM >> Providing support to like-minded charities is as important to us as our community projects. By offering considerably below the market rates for office rental as well as access to all our existing facilities, we pride ourselves in being a charitable ecosystem at the root of positive social change in East London and beyond. We are now home to more than 30 different community organisations and charities .
