What if? Nunhead

As we develop our storytelling work, we turn our attention to the Peckham-adjacent local community of Nunhead. The area is vibrant, forward-thinking, and energised by the huge diversity of its residents, businesses and community-builders.

Inspired by the cooperative, citizen’s collective and town team movements, our vision is to create a collective space where Nunhead’s citizens can flourish, share resources and ideas, and pioneer new collaborations from arts to affordable energy. As with our work in Peckham and elsewhere, we believe this will be achieved by listening to and connecting all members of our ‘village’ – breaking out of our silos and insular communities via opportunities for human connection including safe play, music and arts events and sharing good food.

Over summer 2026 we are gathering a steering group representing key communities in Nunhead to co-create a share online community resource to celebrate and connect the brilliant organisations delivering social impact in the area.
