Innovation spotlight

Unity House is now a council-awarded six-session pilot under the London Borough of Waltham Forest Community Health Champions Microgrant Fund. It is testing health promotion, local connection, waste/reuse learning and resident feedback within the September 2026–March 2027 grant period.

  • Low-cost healthy living, meal preparation and physical activity
  • Voluntary resident feedback with agreed privacy and safeguarding
  • Any future evaluation and scalability assessment would be evidence-led

*The award covers a controlled pilot—not a permanent Unity House centre, a public waste-collection service or the full circular-economy model.

Illustrative concept for a future Unity House community hub. The council-awarded pilot funds six sessions and supports learning toward the wider model.
