How Not What
How Not What, a key outcome of our Development Partner programme, involves six organisations in Islington, who believe it’s not just what we do that really matters, but HOW we do it. We try to put relationships at the heart of everything we do. We call this ‘relational practice’, or How Not What.’ In addition to Cripplegate Foundation, these organisations are Claremont Project, Company Three, Help on Your Doorstep, The Parent House, and the London Borough of Islington’s Homes and Communities Team. We have shared website with a wealth of resources, including ideas, films, training resources and conversation-starters with anyone who wants to embed this practice in their own work.
