About This Project:
Crowd Magnet worked with Populo Living to program a series of activities that enhanced their community hub and transformed it into a vibrant, self-sustaining space. The programme offered a wide variety of events, including wellness workshops, Sadler’s Wells dance classes, Eid celebrations, planter building workshops, mural painting sessions, and co-design workshops with residents. These activities not only brought the community together but also empowered residents to take ownership of the hub and its programming.
A key aspect of the project was a design consultation, where residents had the opportunity to provide feedback alongside the design team, ensuring their voices were heard and their ideas shaped the future direction of the masterplan. The ongoing programme has created a welcoming, safe environment while strengthening long-term engagement and connection among local residents.
