Our Journey
Lambeth is the 5th most deprived area in London and the 25th most deprived in UK.
As a key focal point within Lambeth, Brixton gave us the chance to address some serious problems.
Goals: To allow people to invest in themselves & their
community
To allow people to gain financially through socially responsible investment
To promote energy efficiency through education, home energy audits, etc
To provide apprenticeships and work experience for local people
…it’s all about wellbeing!
