How we work

At Pembroke House we are committed to tackling the inequalities and challenges in Walworth. We aim to do so by starting right where we are. Like our founders, we know that the solution to these problems already exists in the neighbourhood. By coming together, we can build a thriving and more just Walworth where everyone can flourish. 

Our four principles — Connect, Grow, Act and Share — are the building blocks for a solid foundation that informs all the work that we do. They ensure that as we move towards a more sustainable future as a neighbourhood organisation, we remain grounded in what matters most to our community.

Connect

We provide opportunities for local residents and neighbours to connect, whether it’s gathering over food, or engaging in an activity at the Walworth Living Room. We facilitate conversations and meaningful interactions across the neighbourhood and beyond.

Grow

We create opportunities for people to share knowledge, learn from and challenge one another– from community-led activities in the Walworth Living Room to action learning groups with the Neighbourhood Food Model.

Share your skills

Act

We are committed to building collective power to build a stronger and more connected Walworth. By bringing people together, and holding space for difficult conversations, we can create and act on shared visions for the neighbourhood.

Take action

Share

We share stories and lessons from our work and community to advocate for change, inspire others and influence wider policy and practice.
