East London Waterworks Park
Community researchers wanted to help East London Waterworks Park ensure it is welcoming for all
East London Waterworks Park wants to acquire the 5.68-hectare Thames Water Depot on Lea Bridge Road on the border of Waltham Forest and Hackney, much of which is covered in concrete, and transform it into a ‘brownfield rainforest’ with wild-swimming pools. We are looking for community researchers specialised to contribute to our community-led working circle who are working on on a listening project to ensure often underrepresented voices in conservation and environmental projects are heard and centred. We are building a picture of what 'inclusive' looks like in order to develop principles that will guide the project into the future. If you can help with policy proofing, desk research or community research, which could be related to making the park welcoming for the local community, we'd love to have a conversation. All levels of experience are welcomed. The Inclusivity Circle currently meets monthly on a Wednesday evening on Zoom and spends voluntary time outside of the meeting completing agreed tasks remotely.
