Creating a long-lasting legacy from Lewisham’s London Borough of Culture

Long-term commitment
It’s important to us to leave a positive legacy in the places we create, so we jumped at the chance to support Lewisham’s London Borough of Culture programme. We partnered with Lewisham Council and We Are Lewisham to support events like the free cultural festival, People’s Day, and a community space to empower young people to shape the future of climate justice, Climate Home.
A sustainable future
We joined forces with We Are Lewisham as Climate Emergency Partner, to support their campaign to encourage a more radical and direct response to climate change across the borough. Facilitated by artists and led by young people, the project aims to create the space for the community to imagine the change they want to see.
Local understanding
We know no two places are the same. We wanted to support this distinctly ‘Lewisham’ event programme using music, dance, public art, parks and street corners to engage hundreds of thousands of people, whilst amplifying the voices of the borough’s most marginalised communities. Ultimately, we’re proud to be supporting our partners to create a lasting legacy for Lewisham.
