Crowdfund Report

Thanks to the generosity of 230 readers who contributed to our crowdfund and some other donors, we have raised the budget for Tessa Hunkin’s Hackney Mosaic Project which will be published on Thursday 2nd October.

I am especially pleased to publish this book because I believe Hackney Mosaic Project is an inspirational model of how local people can come together and collaborate to beautify their neighbourhood and celebrate community. In such troubled times, we surely need hopeful and positive examples of human creativity dedicated to the common good.
