Great to hear our support has been useful!
“Some funding came from @LorettaCLees, some through @LondonTenants grants, from @TrustforLondon, from @UCL’s Engineering Exchange @uclengex as well as Locality. I don’t think we would have got this far without the extra support and funding in addition to the Locality funding.”
UCL's collaboration with @JustSpace7 is still going strong! Visit the EngEx website for more examples of community-led planning and collaborative research: ucl.ac.uk/engineering-exchan…
