We were delighted to support Southern Housing in reinvigorating the community space in the Samuel Lewis Trust Estate. The Estate marked the beginning of Southern Housing’s history, being their very first housing trust in 1901.

Southern Housing sought our help in enhancing the outdoor space to help restore a sense of community outdoors too. We were pleased to re-render a mural wall, finished with a whitewash to start a fresh canvas. This was then designed and completed through a community-led workshop, sponsored by Ovia, our Electrical Manufacturer. Our team were excited to volunteer and participate in the mural co-creation and painting days.

The long-term vision is to build raised beds and seating areas to form a new creative space that can function as a community garden, encouraging green fingered residents to engage in volunteering opportunities.
