From the mouths of social innovators
Once upon a time, there was a little girl facing a difficult journey as she was battling health problems and found herself spending all her time in hospital dealing with tests, treatments and doctors. Thankfully, her fairy godmother appeared one day and asked her to help design a very special dress.
In the coming months, the idea is to shift the narrative of Innovation Works by introducing Londoners to the stories that flow from the building on a daily basis and to keep the doors open for community to take a seat at this remarkable spot in the city’s downtown. Sienna Jae Taylor is the Innovation Works community animator, a term that stems from the idea of animation and bringing something to life.

Walking around barefooted, stopping into the basement for a yoga session or petting the dog of a co-tenant on the third floor of Innovation Works all help van der Nickolaas van der Veld take proper breaks to perform at his best.
“I was next to some of the initial conversations about Innovation Works and what it may look like, and I fell in love with it. I’m like oh my god, this is a space designed for millennials!” says van der Velde. “This is almost like a village of social impact, or socially minded people. I love that.”
We know that the best co-working spaces are more than just tables and chairs.
When the social innovation shared space was just a dream … I only need look to Innovation Works as a key example of cross-sector collaboration.
