WIILMA

Who we are

A global disadvantaged majority & disability ed, grassroots community support & cohesion project. we’ve been extensively piloting a diverse plethora of experimental, intergenerational community projects, building community cohesion & resilience, whilst tackling isolation.
we achieve all we do through community education & awareness projects, centred around our shared world music, arts, history, heritage & culture.
everything we set up to do pre-covid have since become national priorities.

Our culture and values

We believe:

• Everyone has a right to high quality arts provision not just those who can afford it.

• Community education & creative wellbeing programs on world music, art, cultures, history & heritage, historical contributions by diverse communities to our society, brings people from different backgrounds together. Those whose paths may not normally cross & helps build a more cohesive society, reduces health inequalities and increases better life outcomes for all.

• Every high density development should have a community integration space for the creative wellbeing and isolation reduction of their inhabitants and community of all ages.

• Every borough should have enabling performance spaces and venues with stages, sound, lighting with equitable access for community groups to perform (this is sadly, simply not the case across many parts of london and spaces are infact disappearing.) - (See LCIN)

• People of all ages with seen and unseen disabilities should be enabled to lead independent lives and have access to accessible community arts spaces with stages, and reliable accessible transport options to participate in activities to reduce their isolation, connect with their community and lead healthy lives.  LIPSAUDN) https://www.wiilma.org/londonintergenerationalpedestrianpassengerdisabilitynetwork
