Neighbourhood Toolbox

At Neighbourhood Toolbox, design is for all! Their mission is to ensure everyone can access the tools needed to EXPLORE, DESIGN,  REALISE  & CELEBRATE homes, communities and neighbourhoods that work for us all!

NTB is there to support all projects – no matter how small or big – to move from the earliest seed of an idea through to completion and use. Underpinning all this is their four key missions which reflect the four stages of every project:

#1: EXPLORE

All community members can EXPLORE their project ideas; supported to investigate, learn, debate and collaborate to develop the governance and identify and prepare processes to deliver good projects that can help overcome local need.

#2: DESIGN

All community members can DESIGN their projects, supported by building their capacity to access the skills, resources and professional expertise to create participatory processes and design sustainable solutions that meet local needs.

#4: CELEBRATE

All community members can CELEBRATE their projects; prepared to successfully run and maintain them, reflect on successes, and learn from challenges so knowledge is shared to support others to deliver similar projects more successfully in the future.

#3: REALISE

All community members can REALISE their projects; supported to  attract investment, and acquire the tools, skills and professional expertise required to manage and construct their projects inclusively and sustainably.
