RCKa was commissioned by Hammersmith & Fulham Council to work with the local community and design a new mixed-use workspace and community food hub within the Edward Woods Estate. The Nourish Hub replaces a vacant post-office to provide new community facilities where learning about healthy eating and cooking food – as a common, social and community activity – can connect diverse cultures, teach meaningful skills and bring people together. A planning application for the new centre, which is funded by the Mayor of London’s Good Growth Fund, was submitted to the council and the Hub opened in the summer of 2021. The Hub offers a number of opportunities for residents from every background to get involved and to help build local skills and knowledge; from employment in the catering industry to volunteering opportunities, skill-sharing and cooking classes. UK Harvest, a not-for-profit charity that collects quality excess food to provide nutritious meals, will be responsible for running Nourish Hub for the first three years, after which the space will be handed over to the community.
