Every One Every Day Spring 2018 #1

EVERY ONE. EVERY DAY.

An 8 week season of over 50 opportunities near where you live to cook, make, learn, grow, fix, trade, sing, play, eat and share - together with your family, friends and neighbours.

Barking and Dagenham made by everyone, for everyone!

SPRING 2018

Welcome to... the Every One Every Day project!

Every One Every Day is a really ambitious idea, with local residents at its heart.

We know that Barking and Dagenham is a vibrant place to live and work, to grow up and grow older in. This project will make it easier to spend time with neighbours doing practical and useful everyday things together that we all enjoy.

Practical ‘hands on’ ideas – not lots of meetings.

Support for getting things going – no complicated processes.

Every One Every Day builds on the ‘hands on’ projects that people have been creating over the last few years in their own neighbourhoods. These types of projects welcome people from all walks of life.

We welcome you to suggest ideas you would like to grow together with friends and neighbours. This project will give the support you need to bring your ideas to life quickly.

These projects include:

The team will make things very simple - including:

•

Sharing skills, spaces and resources.

•

Families working and playing together.

•

Batch cooking and community meals.

• •

•

Finding you useful spaces for the projects (kitchens, workshops, storage spaces etc).

•

Supplying materials and equipment for practical activities - no form filling for grants.

Food growing and tree planting.

•

By arranging insurances and health and safety.

Trading, making and repairing.

•

Holding festivals, workshops and business programmes.

Every One Every Day is going to be in the borough for a long time - at least 5 years and hopefully longer, and we hope to support residents to develop lots of projects and businesses.

“The reassurance that the Every One Every Day team will be working with me each step of the way has really encouraged me to try and start something new - it’s really built my confidence!”

- Local resident.

Our plans to grow across the borough!

We have had an incredible response from residents since launching in the borough last November! We have over 40 projects in planning already - many people will be sharing their ideas with you through the exciting 8 week programme that has been created in the last couple of months.

Please do take a look at the programme — there is something happening nearly every day in the areas near the first two shops. Everything is co-created with residents, and we are sure you will be inspired by the range of ideas as well as the energy being shown by the amazing people living and working in Barking and Dagenham.

But we have hardly started yet!

AUTUMN 2018

We will be opening 2 new shops later this year - one in the Becontree/Valence area and another in Chadwell Heath. This will likely be sometime between July and September, depending on shop availability. Our fifth shop is scheduled to open in Thames in Autumn 2019.

We also plan to open a free co-working makerspace later this year to support residents with new businesses and co-operatives. We will keep you posted on developments!

AUTUMN 2018

Two new practical spaces With the help and support of residents we are also opening up two additional free practical resources in the borough.

Every One Every Day Shop 55-59 Ripple Road IG11 7NT OPEN NOW

Every One Every Day Shop 116 Church Elm Lane RM10 9RL OPEN NOW

AUTUMN 2019

The 1st space is the Pop Up Workshop at the rear of our shop in Ripple Road, Barking. Thanks to a very generous loan of tools, from a local family, we are creating a small workshop for residents to use for their making and repairing projects.

The 2nd is a photography Light Room above the shop in Church Elm Lane, Dagenham. Residents and the team are transforming a small room into a space for taking photos and videos - in particular, products that people might want to start selling.

You can come along and see these spaces as they develop on our regular shop opening days - but there are also some activities in this programme to stimulate your ideas for projects that can make use of these spaces.

We hope to see you very soon!

Do you have a favourite recipe from home that you would like to share?

Would you like to start a Great Cook near where you live? Come along to one of the Great Cook sessions below.

You need to sign up for Great Cook sessions, to show you are coming and to select the ingredient you will be bringing along for the recipe.

PLAY STREET Play Streets are springing up across the borough!

Since launching in November two Play Streets have already started, with several more in the planning - would you and other families near you like to start a regular Play Street?

What are Play Streets?

Play Streets temporarily stop traffic in a residential street, cul-de-sac or square, creating an opportunity for children to play safely outside.

Parents and neighbours host sessions by closing the street and bringing out toys and play equipment to share.

By temporarily stopping traffic for a while, and inviting everyone out, we can enjoy our streets together near our own front doors.

How does the Every One Every Day team help you get started?

We try to make starting projects with your neighbours as easy and quick as possible. We help you to talk to your neighbours, arranging meetings to discuss the idea, sometimes doing some gentle door knocking. We help with setting dates, support you making posters and promoting generally, and even have some small budgets for some shared play equipment. We love supporting projects and do everything with you!

The Every One Every Day team will be attending both the Play Streets listed below — please come along and chat to us on the day if you would like to find out more about how to set one up in your street.

Play Street sessions coming up!

Come and join us for a day of fun and meet new neighbours. The aim of the Play Street is to give members of the local community an opportunity to get together to promote building relationships between different cultures and ages as well as giving children a chance to play safely.

STREET Take part in fun football games whatever your fitness level - in football cages - with music.

Football has always been a community sport, where people use the parks and streets where they live to kick a ball around, get some exercise and have fun together.

Do you remember playing football when you were younger and want to pick it up again?

Come for as little or as long as you want!

BALL.

Ola, a local resident and qualified football coach, always played football on the streets, in his local park and in football cages with friends. He got to spend time with them in a relaxed environment whilst doing something he loved.

He has created the Street Ball project to get people of all ages excited about kickabouts. These fun and lively sessions include Walking Football, Family Football, Girls Footy and Boys Footy... which one is right for you?

Street Ball is inspired by South American street football, and futsal which is played on a hard court with a weighted ball.

He then came across a international campaign which focused on football tricks, freestyling and music and was inspired to take this culture and infuse it into his local community so people could take ownership of their free time in a their spaces again.

Imagine a beautiful shared space for gathering, playing, growing and relaxing.

This is exactly what local people are creating - we would love you to join us!

Local residents have chosen an area of green space in the heart of Dagenham to redesign together, which is located on the junction of Church Elm Lane and Rectory Road (a stone’s throw away from Dagenham Heathway).

Would you like it to be a social space, an extended garden for the neighbourhood, a play area or a growing space for fruit and vegetables?

You could help by: - Designing how the space will look and feel, adding ideas.

- Growing plants from seeds at home and planting them in the shared garden.

- Lending a hand with digging, building, sawing or painting.

- Looking after the team by making tea, coffee and sandwiches.

Check out the drop in sessions on the opposite page for the dates and times.

About the project starter The People’s Corner project started with a wonderful vision by local residents AJ and his 10 year old brother Efe, who wanted to convert unused spaces near their home into vibrant and useful spaces for the community. They came up with the name with other residents and started knocking on doors to ask people what they wanted on the green.

18

People’s Corner is one of the first Open Corner projects launching in Spring. Do you have a green space near you? There are thousands of small pockets of green spaces in Barking and Dagenham. Can you help to turn some of them into lively social spaces for your neighbourhood?

About the project starters

The neighbourhood film studio is a project that has been created with this in mind. It will support budding film-makers to make and enjoy films in the borough. Residents have created learning sessions where they will share some film making techniques to get you ready to create and submit to the DIY Film Festival which will showcase films about Barking and Dagenham.

We are 3 local residents, keen to support film making and sharing in the borough. With the upcoming possibility of Barking and Dagenham having its own large film studio, we started this project to support local people in getting more involved in film and having a place for people to enjoy local creations.

No previous experience required.

Mark: “I have lived in the borough for 15 years and have helped run 2 college film societies.”

WHEN WE SAY EVERY ONE WE MEAN EVERY ONE…

Find out more about what is going on through the website and regular newspapers. www.weareeveryone.org

Festivals Festivals will be happening regularly across Barking and Dagenham.

You looked through the paper, and you are wondering ‘is this for me?’

The answer is Yes, it is for you!

We called the project Every One Every Day - and we mean it!

Regardless of your starting point, Every One Every Day has been designed with all your life circumstances in mind. We are really good at making it easy for people to get involved in activity that they enjoy and benefit from. It’s our thing.

Every One Every Day recognises that most people have busy lives.

Between work, raising children, caring for older relatives and keeping households going, people need participation opportunities that fit with all the other things going on.

Over time we aim to help create hundreds of opportunities each month.

There will be a wide variety of activity. These activities will be near where you live, they will be short and at different times of day, they will need all kinds of skills and ideas … and most importantly, they will be open, warm and welcoming to every single person in Barking and Dagenham.

• • • •

We will help find a neighbour or friend to accompany you if you feel a bit shy at first.

We will find a neighbour who can translate for you if English isn’t your first language.

We will ensure full access and support to activities if you are experiencing health/access issues.

We will talk things through with you if you have limited online access.

The projects are designed to benefit you directly Every One Every Day is not a volunteering programme. This is about neighbourhoods made by everyone, for everyone, and on an equal footing.

We work with residents to help create projects that directly benefit you, your neighbours, friends and family. These benefits might include learning new things; saving you money or time; increasing confidence, happiness and health; making new friends and creating a greater sense of community; all the way through to developing ideas for new livelihoods or community businesses.

Whether you decide to get involved in bringing a green space to life, or get involved in projects for cooking, making, sharing, learning or playing, these things will all add up to make everyday life better for everyone, simply by doing more things you might do every day with your friends and neighbours, instead of alone.

Please take a look at this map to see where you might want to get involved. And if you can’t find the right starting point for you, please come and visit us and we can find or invent something new together.

Start anywhere!

Help people feel at home and make new friends as soon as they move to your area.

Apply to join a business programme Want to take your business ideas to the next level and need some specialist support to test and grow them? We will be running several programmes each year, let us know now what you are interested in and help shape these programmes.

Work for the project We will have a variety of working, learning and researching opportunities including: work experience, apprenticeships, internships and full and part-time posts. Keep an eye on the website for new things as they come up.

Connect with our industry and education partners Join the Community Advisory Group If you want to help us understand how the project is going, or have local insights, think about joining the Community Advisory Group. You don’t have to be part of an existing project or group, individual residents welcome.

We will be developing strong links with local businesses, schools, colleges and universities, so that if during your participation in projects you develop skills or interests, we can support you to develop further. We will be working with our partners to create more work experience, apprenticeships and employment.
