Save Soanes Campaign
Our beloved community centre is at-risk.
But we are fighting back!
Spring fundraiser
On the 25th of April we had our spring fundraiser at new Tower Hamlets venue Engine Rooms. We had local legends Natty Wylah, Anja Ngozi, mellowdramatics and Tony from "Create Define Release" supplying the music, a raffle with amazing prizes and live screenprinting done by artist and Save Soanes campaigner Morgan Passmore-Barry.
Egg workshop
On the 12th of April, we had a natural egg-dyeing workshop at the Soanes Centre. We were joined by local families and the Soanes Centre ducks and made beautiful eggs using only onion skins and flowers for prints!
Day of Action
On the 14th of December, we took to the streets and set up a space outside Tower Hamlets Town Hall to close out our week of canvassing. We were there with a collective installation of banners, chalk art, lanterns and music to bring attention to the threats facing the Soanes Centre, and to push the council to grant Setpoint London East a secure long-term lease.
Summer Jam
Across the whole month of August 2024, Kin Structures and Setpoint London East, with help from the local community, decorated the area around the Soanes Centre in preparation for the inaugural Summer Jam. Over 200 hands, hearts and souls gathered to create this slice of paradise right in the middle of Tower Hamlets.
