Livesey Exchange works to ensure local spaces, whether that be existing buildings or new builds, are utilised by Southwark residents. LEX1, located around the Ledbury Estate, was home to 11 units, facilitating 20+ creatives at any given time. This multidisciplinary space is also being used for workshops, skills development training and cultural programmes. The construction of LEX2 is currently underway which will serve to support the local community by providing an accessible social, cultural and community space. This will also become Livesey Exchange’s permanent residence once LEX1 is eventually knocked down. Social Value: When speaking with Nicholas, he placed keen importance on ‘social value’ and what it means to the community. According to Social Value UK (2022), the term refers to the quantification of importance that people place on the changes that they experience in their lives. Livesey Exchange provides a middle ground between the Southwark community and local governing bodies where these values can be communicated and subsequently measured. Social valuecan mean different things to different people, therefore we asked Nicholas to define what social value means to him: taken from the Social Action Project by Lauren Peaty - DaSilva et al Drone footage by THE LIVESEY EXCHANGE #poweredbypeople #poweredbystaff #oldkentroad #southwark #socialvalue #coproduction #codesign Neil Kirby Stephanie Cryan Stephen Gaskell Andy Matheson Cedric Whilby Sofia Whilby Evelyn Akoto Sayce Holmes-Lewis Samuel Glean Holly Lewis David Ogunmuyiwa Wendy Cummins Simona Tottoli Matt Derry Marcia Brock
