ftwork is one of our Founding Partners
ftwork was founded in 2016 with the aim of building stronger communities, by ensuring that local interests and clear social principles drive development decisions and by promoting best practice. Having enabled and supported many grassroots organisations with advice, evaluation and funding, ftwork has become a significant force in influencing change and innovation within the social and built environments.
Clare Richards speaks about why she is supporting The London Neighbourhood Scholarship Trust:
“The built environment sector, particularly design, simply isn’t diverse enough and the problem is compounded by the huge cost of studying Architecture. We need to do all we can to broaden access and support talented young people to train to be the architects of the future. The London Neighbourhood Scholarship Trust sets out to do just that and ftwork is delighted to be able to offer its support. It is essential to ensure the diversity of our profession if architecture is to fulfil a social purpose and address the needs and wishes of all our communities.”
