Shuffle joins people together to create the kind of cities they want to live in. As an organisation, Shuffle works to build a more integrated community presence in the built and natural environment.
Shuffle Festival is an annual event in Mile End, which showcases these ideas. The week long festivities involve film, science education, storytelling, performance art, architectural installations, walks, food and music. Ticket sales are affordable and provide funds for long-term neighbourhood projects in line with our aims.
Our aim is to create diverse and creative public places with real community assets. We favour long-term thinking over the current dominant culture of development concerned only with the highest returns for the shareholders of large companies. This means that 'growth' is measured in profits and not the quality of places being built and the social impacts.
