Submitting Organisation: Spacehive

Executive summary from entrant:

The London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham has partnered with community engagement and fundraising platform Spacehive to pioneer an innovative approach to placemaking and locally-led development. This collaboration empowers residents to lead transformative projects that create vibrant public spaces, enhance environmental quality and bring people together to increase social capital. By leveraging external funding through Spacehive’s digital platform, LBHF has raised over £1 million for local projects, amplifying a £237,900 NCIL investment by over 300%. Without the integration of Spacehive, the council would have had to contribute the full £1 million themselves to deliver the same scale of impact.
