EdCity: a new home for Ark and the education sector

EdCity is a unique not-for-profit partnership between Ark and Hammersmith & Fulham Council, opening up social, economic and educational opportunities in West London.

Discover EdCity

At EdCity we forge connections, catalyse collaboration and give a platform to people who want to share their practice and ideas.

EdCity provides:

• A home for mission-aligned organisations – six education organisations are now based at EdCity and their work impacts more than one million children each year.
• A growing network of EdCitizens driving sector-wide change – 117 individuals or organisations are now members. More than 50 events have been held this year to foster collaboration with the wider sector.
• Flexible space to innovate, learn and share – there have been more than 500 bookings from external organisations to host events and meetings, record podcasts and provide services for their beneficiaries.
• Place-based transformation and community building – the EdCity campus includes a nursery, Ark White City Primary, community facilities and affordable housing.

I’ve witnessed how ambitious this project is in terms of community involvement and engagement. It feels like a “who’s who” of education, and those chance encounters are always valuable. The café, the atmosphere, the ambition behind it – it’s all so refreshing compared to a typical corporate workspace. It’s not just a place to work; it’s a space with purpose and energy, and that’s what draws me in.
