Build Up Hackney Opening

On Wednesday 30th October, we had the opening ceremony of the Flanders Way in Hackney led by the local young people, Mayor of Hackney and TV presenter Dr. Ronx.

After 22 months of work and a huge summer build, we completed our project which is designed and built by young people as a product of them having a say in their changing area.

Over 150 people attended the opening that started with young people giving tours of the site and talking about the positive impact of the project in their lives and their environment. At the event, we were awarded the Mayor of London’s Volunteering Award 2019.
