OUR STORY The SPACE was established in response to the Grenfell Tower fire, a moment that exposed deep inequalities and a breakdown of trust between communities and institutions. Many residents experienced fragmented support, barriers to access, and limited opportunity to shape decisions affecting their lives. In response, communities came together to support one another. The SPACE grew from this context, rooted in trust, proximity, and a shared commitment to supporting people through crisis while building something stronger for the future. Grenfell highlighted critical gaps in how systems work: People most affected were not shaping decisions Support was often difficult to access and disconnected Trust in institutions was low Recovery required long-term, relational support These lessons continue to shape our approach today. What began as a grassroots response has developed into a trusted local infrastructure. We now support thousands of people through: Direct support in times of crisis Peer networks and community connection Volunteering and participation Resident-led leadership and organising Over time, this has created pathways for people to move from receiving support into shaping their communities and influencing change. The SPACE is now a recognised and trusted partner— a place where people come for support, connection, and opportunity. We continue to build on our roots as a community-led organisation, grounded in lived experience and focused on long-term change and inspiring other communities across London Weekly Schedule Find out more about what is happening day-to-day, under our 'Services' and 'What's On?'
