Help make Tower Hamlets a great place to live, work and play

By ONELAB CIC
Improving our life chances by empowering the next generation of neurodiverse designers in Tower Hamlets. Help us to gain meaningful work experience by backing us to showcase & sell our designs.
We see a lot of designers working & living around us in Tower Hamlets. We also want to be just like them one day. But because we are different, the world does not think we can be designers. We want to change this! We do not want our differences to limit what we can achieve in life. We discovered our passion and purpose in life! We have already started creating amazing designs (as seen in the video). Now we just need to gain meaningful work experience to test out our designs to a live audience. We have 2 choices right now: 1. Wait for an opportunity (which may never come) OR 2. Create an opportunity for ourselves We choose #2! Designed by, and run by us, we want the opportunity to showcase and sell our designs to live customers. This opportunity will help us to achieve our dreams of becoming the best designers in the world because we will receive feedback from live customers. So please help us to achieve our dreams!
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
The world thinks neurodiverse young people are not capable of doing things. But, we know we can! You have already seen what amazing designs we can create in the video. Supporting this project will give us the opportunity to showcase and sell our designs to live customers. This project will help us gain the skills and confidence to design better. This is because by interacting with live customers, we will be able to understand what our customers want to buy. We will also develop entrepreneurial skills so that we can make our own money and be respected in life. Creating an opportunity where neurodiverse young people can showcase and sell their designs is a brilliant idea because: 1. We can show our family that we can also make money doing what we love. 2. We can show the world that being neurodiverse does not mean we cannot do amazing things. We just need a bit of support at the beginning. 3. We can live happy, healthy and independent lives just like everyone else can.
Steps to get it done:
The money raised will cover the start-up costs for the first annual showcasing and selling of designs by neurodiverse designers. All profits generated from the sales of designs will cover costs of future showcasing and selling events. This way more neurodiverse young people will also have the opportunity to showcase and sell to a real live audience too. We did not want to ask for money without offering you some Support Rewards. If you donate to our project, we will offer you these Support Rewards: Donate £5: • Limited Edition Sticker Pack Designed by Neurodiverse Young People Donate £10: • Special 3-Course BBQ Dinner on Thursday, December 9th Donate £25: • Limited Edition T-Shirt Designed by Neurodiverse Young People Donate £125: • Special "Design Your Own T-Shirt" Evening for 4 People • Drinks and delicious nibbles included
