The Design Charity

Our Charitable Objectives

The Design Charity has two defining objectives:

  • Firstly, we are committed to the design and build of transformative environments for charitable causes.

  • Secondly, as part of our educational role, we are pledged to research these environments and publish our evidence for the benefit of all.

 

‘Playtime on the Line - A Sustainable Meridian’

‘Playtime on the Line - A Sustainable Meridian’

Taking advantage of the unique location of the Meridian Primary School in Greenwich on the prime Meridian line, we've embarked on a creative endeavour to connect with schools across the globe for a unified climate action project. This includes redesigning playgrounds in an eco-conscious manner that can both educate the students and serve the community.

Current Research

A central focus of our research at the The Design CIC is the investigation of issues related to access to quality green space in urban environments – see our video above 

Gardens that make You Feel

The Design Charity has created a number of gardens for leading Charities including ‘Emmaus’; ‘Kid’s Company’ and ‘Surf Survivors of the Rwandan Genocide’. Profound emotions have been evoked by these gardens on the part of all involved, demonstrating the ability of the environment to “speak to us” The Promised Land Garden is a particularly poignant example
