3Space and Hope For The Young go wayyyy back ➡️

One of our many treasured tenant orgs creating promising futures for refugees, HFTY started their 3Space journey in our meanwhile use project at Keeton’s and Collett in Bermondsey, a former college that closed for redevelopment in 2020. They moved with us to International House and have since gone from strength to strength, graduating from our community initiatives floor and onto paid for space within the building.

It was great to chat to their CEO Matt Blacker for our impact video about the amazing work the charity does to remove obstacles to young refugees and asylum seekers’ education and well-being through mentoring, advocacy and financial support.

Here’s what happened when we met up with Kate and Emma, ex TV producers and co-founders of Prop-Up Project, a not for profit organisation set up to help the TV and film industry deal with their prop and set waste in the most sustainable and socially responsible way.

Since we shot our impact video, Prop-Up project now have an amazing dedicated team and a new central hub at our Warren Street project, which has allowed them to work with several major production companies and platforms. They have also won numerous awards for their sustainable impact work - their Rehome, Resell, Recycle model has allowed them to donate an impressive 50985 items to date!

We’re very proud to have incubated them in our Brixton building for the last few years and can’t wait to see what they get up to next.

Another highlight from our impact video was when we spoke to Binki Taylor, founding partner of the , a participatory placemaking organisation that commissions creative and cultural programming to increase access, strengthen communities, and support inclusive place-based development.
