Building a better world with community-led development

The Onion Collective is a social enterprise that was founded by a group of mums from Watchet in Somerset, UK. Watchet is a town with high levels of deprivation and the founders shared a keen desire to make it a better place to grow up for their kids. Galvanised by this shared interest, they came together and commissioned the creation of a visitor information centre and boat museum in 2016, and more recently a vibrant community centre on the harbourside called East Quay, which opened its doors in summer 2021. This month in our podcast we speak to Georgie Grant, a director and co-founder of the Onion Collective, about East Quay and the possibilities that arise when a community comes together with a shared vision.
