SUMMER PROGRAMME 2018 1

Welc om e to Every O ne Every D ay!

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.

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 will be opening 2 new shops later this year - one in the Becontree/Valence area and another in Chadwell Heath. h shop s s he

These projects include: •

Sharing skills, spaces and resources.

•

Families working and playing together.

•

Batch cooking and community meals.

•

Food growing and tree planting.

•

Trading, making and repairing.

“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 u lt my n den e al res dent.

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.

A U TU M N

Support for getting things going – no complicated processes.

People’s ideas and energies are the biggest asset in the borough - especially when we work together.

We cu rrently have tw o hig h street shop s.

he e s o os o p o he e e Every Day projects. However the project experiences all involve a sharing of ideas, friendship, skills and sometimes ingredients or barter items. The Every One Every Day team helps make that magic happen but we don’t deliver the activities as a service.

You don’t have to have a big idea, loads of time or bags of o e e e o s o e o e o o o op o a cup of tea!

As a borough with many green spaces local people love to interact with nature ith training to become beekeepers to setting up bee hives to chicken projects and setting up coops!

Everything is pr ac tical , hands on and useful .

When w e say everyone, w e m ean everyone.

Whether it’s cooking, making, growing or sewing together, he es e e e o o e h o s e s and family. These might include learning new things; saving you o e o e e s o e e h pp ess he h making new friends and creating a greater sense of community; all the way through to developing ideas for new livelihoods and community businesses.

Everything is made as easy as possible. Being involved in making your neighbourhood a better place shouldn’t be a huge effort for a small number of individuals. We make it easy for everyone, working with people on an equal footing. All activities will be open, warm and welcoming to every single person in Barking and Dagenham.

Imagine becoming part of an enterprising community developing ideas and businesses in Barking and Dagenham, based in a new warehouse space built exclusively for residents with free access.

Are you working from home and need space to grow? e o s o h o o e e to make that career change? You may have a hobby or side project that could become a full time job? Or maybe, there’s an idea you’ve always wanted to test out? he e e e e h s se e from the London Mayor’s Good Growth Fund.

Together with grants from our other funders we are building a large ‘makerspace’ in Dagenham East which will have Open Access to Barking and Dagenham residents.

What is a makerspace?

It’s a new type of workspace with lots of equipment. The Warehouse will operate much like a public library, giving residents of the borough the ability to work informally together, design and make new products, or make items that improve local neighbourhoods.

The intention is that The Warehouse will have different types of workshops, for wood and metal work, for digital and fashion and fabrics. There will be an industrial kitchen for developing food businesses, and co-working and event spaces.

What do we mean by Open Access?

There will be no costs for using the space. The Warehouse is an opportunity for sharing skills and ideas. Residents that love using The Warehouse will be part of maintaining the spaces and develop skills within the community.

What would you do if you had the space and resources...

To start your business?

To learn new skills and develop existing ones?

To develop and test your product?

To hold meetings, events and workshops?

To join a network of people working on developing new ideas?

On the day you’ll have the chance to meet talented makers and you will have a chance to try out some different making processes.

There really will be something for everyone: textiles, casting, leather-work, printing, ceramics and much more. We’ll even have a Mayku FormBox which is a table top vacuum former for small batch production.

This will be a great opportunity if you love making but have never tried it, or if you’re making already and want to take the next step by connecting with other skilled makers and learning new skills.

Have you always dreamed of taking your food products to market? n and Dagenham.

n

Building on the interest and enthusiasm of residents who participated in our April 24th Food Day, we are creating a free programme to help residents join together to take their products to market through a collective brand.

The idea is that by working together, as a collective, we can help reduce the risks faced by individual food businesses. The programme will feature both peer and expert mentorship that includes time with each resident to reďŹ ne their existing recipes and/or new concepts, offering expert advice and feedback on taste, packaging, marketing, ingredients sourcing, and overall concept.

There are lots of different things that make somewhere a great place to grow up. Outdoor space, friends who live nearby, a playground within walking distance, welcoming and fun spaces to meet family and neighbours, and opportunities to play or develop your ideas.

Barking and Dagenham is full of young families and beautiful green spaces for children to play in. During the last 6 months, since opening the Every One Every Day shops, we have met lots of families excited to explore new projects in the borough – together including a number of parents interested in learning more about alternative ways to care for and help children learn.

These conversations have so far led to projects such as Story ox and Play Streets happening around the orough and conversations of parent-led nurseries, outdoor learning experiences, alternative education (such as home-schooling) as well as many other ideas about how to make the borough a better place to grow up.

This one-day workshop will explore different types of alternative child care and help you understand the potential for these types of models to be developed in the borough.

Join us this summer and learn how to care for chickens! Check out our update on how local residents got on this Spring as they learnt to become beekeepers.

Wide streets lined with tall trees and lavender shrubs, Barking and Dagenham is the greenest borough in London making it a haven for birds, insects and little creatures. The aim of these projects is to improve our environment and s ppo es e s s he o e h e We hope o o s ee s with the soft sounds of hens clucking and the rhythmic buzzing of bees as he o o e o e ee o he o he As well as connecting with nature these projects allow you to connect with your neighbours by sharing the eggs your hens have laid and learning how clever bees are from your local beekeeper.

What we’ve found in this process is that chickens bring people together, just the mention of chickens gets everyone excited and reminds the of a trip to a farm as a child or a time when chickens were kept in gardens.

If you would like to add your chickens to the map, or have suggestions for naming our chickens please contact: saira@weareeveryone.org 30

You give us your food waste, we give you eggs A fantastic idea: Someone in your street keeps chickens in their back garden. Other residents on the street supply the chickens with suitable food waste in exchange for fresh eggs.

Would you and your neighbours like to get together n One Every Day team can help with gathering interest with your neighbours, as well as teaching you how to care for chickens and supplying some materials for hatching eggs!

Drop into the shops or contact: hello@weareeveryone.org Did you know that some cities promote keeping n n waste?

Chicken School We will soon have chickens in the Every One Every Day shop.

In our Spring Programme, locals attended a taster session, to experience the life of a beekeeper and had the amazing opportunity to see inside a beehive. They learnt to identify the difference between worker, drone and queen bees and really understand the commitment required to care for these important insects.

Those who felt the calling of the bees moved onto the 5 week course located in Dagenham Starter Farm every Sunday. It’s been a wonderful and sunny time so far and the attendees have bonded over a desire to have a more positive impact on their area.

No one has been stung and we’re learning that there’s nothing to be afraid of when it comes to bees - even in large numbers! We’re looking forward to hives opening up across the borough and having the opportunity to taste lovely, local honey!

“There’s something surreal about putting on your protective suit and inspecting the hive - it’s like being in a different world.”

Forget the goose that lays the golden egg, chickens are the gift that keeps on giving! Take n n n n skills needed to take care of chickens in your home - you’ll be collecting fresh eggs before you know it. It doesn’t stop there either, once you’ve learnt to take care of the Dagenham Shop chickens you’ll be ready to get some of your own.

We’ll supply the hens (no cockerels so you’ll still n n in as well as supporting you to let your neighbours know you have chickens and the kind of food waste they can give you in exchange for eggs! n

LOCAL DISCOVERY DAYS

We’re planning a feast and you’re invited!

Ever wondered what it would be like to become a barista?

Help us shape the project as it grows!

Noodles are a staple food in many cultures. It’s a perfect ingredient for cooking a range of dishes from around the world, and bringing people together. This evening will be full of swapping cooking ideas and tasting delicious food, through sharing recipes, stories and ingredients.

We have a rare opportunity for you over at EzO Bistro in Barking Station. Find out how to create the perfect blend with Iliyan and his team, who are willing to share the skill of churning out cappuccinos, mixing milk into lattes, and frothing up coffees.

Residents are at the heart of everything we do — and we would love to have your ideas for the project overall. Join us for an informal chat during our Tea & Toast sessions:

Want to be a neighbourhood researcher?

Ever felt the need for a sit down when you are out shopping?

This is Our Story - a resident network of local researchers who will share their observations and s h s o he p o e s h o h s o es photos. If you have a background in, or would like to get involved in social research, this is an opportunity for you. Members of our community can report on, review and record the progress made across this innovative project.

You might be unwell, pregnant...or just a bit tired from walking around with bags. Friendly shopkeepers are now signing up for Have A Seat.

If you would like to discover more about being a neighbourhood researcher get in touch by emailing: hello@weareeveryone.org

Shopkeepers, if you would like to participate send our team an email at hello@weareeveryone.org

A really simple idea: to have a chair available near the door of the shop that welcomes shoppers to ‘have a seat’ for a while - without any expectations to buy anything.
