CASE STUDIES…

Meanwhile Space Case Studies Meanwhile Space is dedicated to making the most of unused spaces for the benefit of local communities. In Whitechapel, Meanwhile Space persuaded landlords to allow them to use an empty shop as an engagement space for three months. Case Local projects used the space by marketing directly from the shop. The space was kept as a blank canvas so people could project their own ideas. Projects included community engagement, workshops, art shows, fundraising, family days, theatre performances and a fair for local artists and retailers. Studies

Cycletastic Case Studies Cycletastic is a voluntary community project managed and supported by local people who aim to broaden access to cycling. The Community Shop offers a drop-in repair facility and regular bike maintenance sessions. They encourage local residents to start cycling and become confident on the road. Case Cycletastic provides assistance to people of all ages and backgrounds, including those on low incomes and experiencing other varying hardships. Through effective engagement with local people the project has enjoyed support from Brent Council and the local police service. Studies

Getting in iTouch Case Studies This project partners residents of care homes for the elderly with university students. Students show residents how to send emails to their families, search the internet for information they might need, or listen to their favourite songs on iTunes and YouTube.  Case Social networking is used to connect to people in other homes world-wide. This project differs from other efforts to help older people online. It adds excitement, ease of use and fun through new technology. Studies
