No job is too small. No problem too big! Community Design Surgeries provide free early design advice to all!
Do you need to make changes to your home…
Does your local club need to make alterations to their facility…
Do you want to make your premises more accessible to your community…
… but don’t know where to start?!
Then Look no further! Neighbourhood Toolbox is providing Commmunity Design Surgeries so all members of the community can access 30-minutes of advice from a local Design Professional.
These consultations will help you to explore your options and understand the processes involved to navigate and realise your project.
DESIGN FOR CHANGE FUND
Supporting our local communities to develop their ideas into projects, so we can realise the change our neighbourhood needs!

PROJECT WORK
Supporting local projects to be more equitable and sustainable – we believe design is for all!
Alongside the work we do to support communities to access the design support they need, we also get our hands dirty and partner with community groups & organisations and local authorities to design more equitable project processes and sustainable solutions – helping to realise projects that improve neighbourhoods for everyone.
THE EXCHANGE
Bringing the community together to debate & learn from each other, inspiring new ideas and collaborations to design better neighbourhoods for all!
As part of our commitment to supporting communities to access the design resources they need, we also host The Exchange. These events feature a variety of speakers and are designed to spark engaging discussions on key subjects for the design industry.
These events are hosted on the third Monday of every month in various locations across the B&NES, Somerset, and Wiltshire area.
