MAKE ⚡ MESSAGE ⚡ MOBILISE
Blackhorse Responders are a group of 15-25 year olds from Walthamstow with a passion for applying creativity to build community.

WHAT?
It’s 5 months of free WEEKLY workshops, where Responders gain access to some of the most exciting brains in London and projects worldwide, supporting them to create ideas for their own social movement. Responders learn essential skills in design, making and activism to apply them in their community, and receive a small stipend to support transport costs.
Read what last year’s 2022 cohort got up to here.
WHY?
London’s citizens are facing mounting pressures from crime, discrimination, environmental crises and debt. How can our frustration inspire creative activism – what form should this take, and where should these responses be heard? How can young people respond to their surroundings in innovative, thoughtful, and creative ways?
WHO?
Blackhorse Responders is a blend of learning practical skills, building community, and getting connected to the incredible creative energy our city has to offer.
