Build Up is a bloody brilliant organisation to collaborate with.
If you work with young people aged 10-23 who might be interested in & benefit from designing and/or building a new outdoor space, get in touch with them

"I'm beaming & leaving positive vibes everywhere."

It's definitely imporved my social skills. It's definitely improved my social skills. It's helped me to talk to people more and be able to have casual conversations."

Yesterday the amazing young people from #FUSEYouthProject, together with expert support from @BuildUpFdn presented their ideas to redevelop our under utilised #PlayArea @StonegroveCT.
I am totally blown away by their creativity, but also thoughtfulness and inclusivity 1/2

If you combine the efforts of all those undertaking built environment outreach, incl @MattFionaBUILD @BuildUpFdn @BTB_Consultants @PlacedEd & many others, we’re still barely reaching 1% of young people. We write about why & how that needs to change in today’s @BDonline

Presenting our wonderful clubhouse!
It was built by young people for young people over 5 days in 2016, and supported by @BuildUpFdn, who put young people in control of hands-on construction projects that make a lasting contribution to their local community. #HMAP50 #50DaysOfPlay

A win too for young people from @DeBeauvoirSch, @BuildUpFdn & @HacYoungFutures who've taken part in the research base for our Child Friendly work & now started to change how planning works & created new spaces in Homerton @hackneyplay as well as Kings Crescent w/ @MUFarchitecture
Excited to be a part of launching this tomorrow, especially to meeting the children involved on the project from @DeBeauvoirSch alongside the amazing @dbornat. This project & previous work inspired me to committing #Hackney to becoming a fully #childfriendly borough by 2022. xitter.cf/ZCD_Architects/status/…
