We are a community-led organisation with a purpose to secure buildings and spaces for the community for the long-term

The HWFI CDT aims to preserve the rich cultural life of Hackney Wick and Fish Island by securing buildings for it to flourish in the long term. 

We are committed to working together with the community, landlords, public authorities and developers to ensure that the identity and social fabric of the Hackney Wick and Fish Island community is retained, enterprise is supported and change benefits local people.

Between us we support a critical local eco-system of local activities that provide enterprise, jobs and skills opportunities for local enterprise and residents.

We have prioritised securing ownership of, or long-term leases on, current and future community and cultural assets to be held on behalf of the community by the CDT ensuring that they are inclusive of, and relevant to, our neighbourhood.
