Fund the co-design, construction and purchase of flexible furniture, silent disco headsets, smart lighting, exhibition walls and decorations for House of Transformation, H:FEST & our courtyard space.
Sorry this project was unsuccessful, we did not reach our fundraising goal.
Last year we leased a vacant office unit in our apartment building on Kingsland Road to create a community hub called House of Transformation - www.hotspaces.org. Once it is safe to gather again, we are planning on hosting a post-lockdown programme of recurring outdoor and indoor events designed to reignite the spirit of community in our local neighbourhood post lockdown and showcase local heritage / community projects, makers, musicians and artists. We are calling this programme H:FEST. The content of H:FEST will focus on wellbeing, the arts and sustainability. We will be hosting weekend conferences, creative workshops, local art exhibitions, community dinners, sustainability hackathons and wellness events. Your investment will fund the co-design and transformation of the courtyard space as well as making critical improvements to House of Transformation. This will enable us to successfully launch H:FEST and deliver hundreds of community events post-lockdown.
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
The primary benefit is the impact on the wellbeing of the people who attend our events. We have been deprived of social interaction for so long and this is having an significant impact on everyone's mental health. The secondary benefit lies in the additional footfall and revenues that we can generate for local artists, musicians, wellness practitioners and small business and venues who have been hit hardest by the pandemic. The third benefit is economic and educational. By bringing people together we enable new connections and collaborations, that could result in job opportunities or new businesses being setup. We will also look to bring an educational and skill-sharing element to our programme, where we look into the future of retail, the future of work and the future of living / housing. The final benefit lies in environmental projects and causes that we will support and initiate at a local level. We will promote a zero waste circular economy approach to all our events.
Steps to get it done:
We accomplished a lot during last year’s lockdown. However, to keep building on this momentum we need your help. We have set a goal of £20k, of which we hope £10k can be matched by the Mayor of London. This leaves us with £10k to raise through our networks. Every pound that you invest in this campaign will be converted into a digital coin that you will be able to spend at H:FEST and HOT events. One of the ideas we are considering is to build some planters so that we can grow some of our own food in the courtyard as well as hosting community gatherings and art exhibitions. Your investment will fund the co-design and transformation of the courtyard space as well as making critical improvements to House of Transformation. This will enable us to successfully launch H:FEST and deliver hundreds of community events post-lockdown. Let ’s unleash a post-lockdown wave of positivity and collaboration.

Thanks Anton
Thank you for your generous contribution to our SpaceHive campaign. Sadly, the Mayor didn't fund our campaign and so it doesn't make sense to continue using the Spacehive platform. However, nothing changes for us. We are still 100% committed to the vision and cause. Please visit https://www.hotspaces.org/pivot to read our new whitepaper and learn about our future plans. You can also still pledge to us directly if you wish. You can reach me on [email protected] / 07976049046 / [email protected] Anton
