Community Livesey Exchange Garages (LEX 1)

Deputy Mayor visits Livesey Exchange

What The Local Community Has To Say

Thank you for providing me an opportunity to exhibit prints, photography and canvases from local artists who do not often get the opportunity to and to promo the launch of Artizan Radio. It was a pleasure being part of a well run and organised event which is credit to you (Nicholas), Noah and the rest of PemPeople/Livesey Exchange team. The Permanent Temporary event (as part of London Design Festival 2021) was a shining example of what Creatives need in terms of spaces for making. The attendance alone shows how much people of all ages are interested in arts and culture and local business.

I just wanted to say thank you for your proactive and selfless efforts of securing such a wonderful space for artists emerging out of lockdown. It has been a struggle as you well know and having that opportunity has helped me to be more positive about my practice and prevent doubts from creeping in. I hope something like that can happen again in the future and if it does I am very willing to help more than just set up my own stuff and would love to be a part of the production side. The Livesey Exchange is another remarkable foundation for something bigger.

Fantastic to visit Livesey Exchange to see one of our unused garage spaces transformed into an amazing hub for makers & creators from every part of our community. Thanks to everyone at PemPeople for the amazing work you're doing & especially the inspirational Nicholas Okwulu.

It has been thrilling to visit the Livesey Exchange and see the start of a journey that will bring local jobs and opportunities for local residents – genuinely inspired by everyone’s commitment and enthusiasm.

The Livesey Exchange 2 project is a true community-led project which emerged from a groundswell of a local initiative to support people in the Peckham area. By offering a safe place to meet and gain the skills and training necessary to capitalise on the opportunities presented by the scale of change in the regeneration of the Old Kent Road Opportunity Area.

Livesey Exchange will be an excellent space for our young people to hangout which will increase their confidence and well being.

Livesey Exchange would be a huge asset to the area – an exciting community project with so many interesting facets.

We completely support the Livesey Exchange and have been working closely with the team behind the project since the situation on the Ledbury first emerged.
