Restoring Green Communities Together

Aim

A community-led initiative to improve environmental access, food security and digital inclusion

At RJ4All, we work closely with our community to shape our Green Vision. Our focus encompasses the creation of well-rounded, sustainable communities that are underpinned by social cohesion, food security, and digital inclusivity.

This initiative serves as a direct response to the escalating cost-of-living crisis. The residents living around our Community Centre are sharing their stories of struggle – of juggling basics like food, health, warmth, and accessing to digital information platforms. But together, we can rewrite this narrative.

Now let’s take a 2-minute tour into our Green journey!

A cohesive society is a GREEN society

With initiatives grounded in restorative justice values—such as power-sharing, equality, dignity, and inclusion—we offer a myriad of free, engaging activities at our Rotherhithe Community Centre to to nourish the spirit, mind, and relationships of our local inhabitants.

GREEN means nobody goes hungry                                      

Last year alone, our Food Bank and Community Fridges have served over 1,500 people in Southwark area with fresh, high-quality food, underlining our commitment to assuring food security in our neighbourhoods. Through food banks, we are strengthening the sense of compassion and hope. 1 in 4 Southwark residents currently experience low food security due to financial constraints (Southwark Council, 2023). It is time to act!

GREEN means environmental-friendly community

We encourage the local community and young people to take every small and doable initiative to make our community centre and local area greener.

Now, let's get specific. Your donation is a seed that will bloom in many ways:

• Nourishing everyone: ensuring our food bank and community fridges continue to provide not just meals, but a lifeline of support.  
• Taking on climate change: running energy-saving workshops, generating clean energy on-site and crafting new green spaces.
• Greening our centre: making our centre eco-friendly, from recycling to improving facility efficiency.
• Gardening together: growing food weekly through the community-led intergenerational gardening sessions
• Empowering youth: coaching the youth about climate change and resilience in Youth Club+.
• Bridging the Digital Divide: offering services and digital tools to increase community’s access and benefits from digital world.

We NEED YOUR HELP to light up lives and communities.
