About

Our Mission

Fore Street For All CIC is an organisation formed through a collaboration between community group Residents of Edmonton Angel Community Together (REACT), local architects Fisher Cheng and Edmonton art organisation Artist Hive Studios.

The project successfully received funding from the Mayor of London following our prototype event held in December 2021. It was one of 15 projects around the capital to receive funding as part of the ‘High Streets for All Challenge’, which sought innovative high street recovery strategies to “breathe new life” into town centres through local partnerships.

The recently re-opened Fore Street Living Room Library will be the hub of the events, and we are looking to further link with local businesses on Fore Street to host satellite events.

Fore Street, our local high street, should serve everyone in the local community. Central to our mission, is delivering an enriching cultural programme of events that is specific to Angel Edmonton. That’s why we want to hear from YOU, so that we can all shape the places we live and spend time. We want to know:

• What will draw you onto Fore Street, especially at night?

• What activities would encourage you to spend more time on the high street?

• What does culture mean to you?

  • REACT Community

    REACT works with and seeks to represent more than 3000 households in Upper Edmonton. Edmonton is one of the most neglected and marginalised parts of Enfield. The community is represented negatively in the media, only furthering the stereotypes of the area, and isolating the community. The committee includes Chair Grace Kamall, Vice Chair Cellina Momodu Doswell, Treasurer Bayar Rahmi & Secretary Alf Linney.

    Cellina Momodu Doswell is a Director of Fore Street For All CIC.

  • Artist Hive Studios

    Hive are curators, artists and cultural programmers specialising in arts and placemaking. We operate across two sites, providing creative workspaces for artists.

    Hive was founded in 2019 after transforming 3,000 sq ft of disused industrial space on Pretoria Road North into a creative community of diverse artists. They have 20+ artists across their sites.
