About Phoenix Community Housing and the Fellowship Inn
Phoenix Community Housing bought the Fellowship Inn, in Bellingham, a semi-derelict south London pub built for First World War veterans and their families, and raised 3.8
million from the Heritage Lottery Fund to renovate the pub and create multiple business lines
including a brewery
and the only cinema in Lewisham.
Phoenix Community Housing is different. They are a community gateway
housing association and the first
in London. This means their social housing
tenants play a central role in decision
making. Their Chair
and Vice Chair are both
Phoenix tenants.
Phoenix manage more
than 6,000 social housing properties in south-east London. Their aim is to build
a better future for our residents and regenerate the area for all who live there.
Their main activities include:
- Repair and maintenance of existing stock.
- Development of
new properties for social rent. - Employment & Enterprise Projects.
- Sustainability & Environment Projects.
- Community Development Projects.
Community Development Projects at the Fellowship Inn
Alongside the
restoration of the Inn a programme of activities to engage the local community and get buy in to the project will take place. These activities will ensure that people will have developed new skills or learnt about
heritage. The activities include:
- Oral History & Digital Project
- Heritage Wall
& Tapestry Project - Performance
project
Phoenix Community Housing are seeking individual artists/arts organisations to apply to deliver one, two or all three of the above projects.
THEY WELCOME PARTNERSHIP
