East London Waterworks Park is a charity that has raised £2m towards buying land from the Department for Education to transform the 14-acre Thames Water Depot on Lea Bridge Road on the border of Waltham Forest and Hackney, into a new biodiverse park with natural swimming ponds, forest schools and community spaces.

Your strategic communication will be instrumental in fostering a strong connection between our community, the park, and its biodiversity. Your input will help us craft compelling narratives that inspire, educate, and engage our service users, stakeholders, funders, and the general public, ultimately driving support for the park's mission and ensuring its long-term sustainability.

Not Only Pink and Blue

Not Only Pink and Blue actively and consciously challenges stereotypes from birth by creating parent friendly work cultures with our innovative parental leave programme, by collaborating with leaders where we consult on projects, deliver talks, chair round tables, and by challenging buying behaviour that perpetuates stereotypes with our directory of brands that have all products for all children, to create a world that does not stereotype children.

By the age of 7 girls are losing their confidence and boys are losing their ability to express any emotion other than anger.

Children are exposed to stereotypes as soon as they are born. With the colours we dress them in, the language we use and the toys they play with. This has a limiting effect on their aspirations, confidence and mental wellbeing.

We work with businesses, parents, and schools to create equitable cultures so that everyone can thrive.

At not only pink and blue, we are on a mission to challenge stereotypes from birth so that rather than trying to 'fix' the limitations that stereotypes place on children when they are in adulthood we remove the stereotype bias and together we can grow generations of equals.

We help businesses to understand the long-term impact of stereotypes, by consulting, deliver talks, running workshops, and have a parental leave programme for all parents regardless of gender.

On our site you will also find a fantastic directory packed full of businesses that don't have girl/boy filters so that you can shop knowing that you aren't been shown only a small selection of the options. We have everything from toys, clothes, books, skincare and homeware.

And we have a blogs and resources section where we have studies, links to other businesses working in this space and blogs from guest bloggers covering all sorts of topics relating to stereotypes.

Help us create a more equitable world for all of us and our future generations.

Duration: Short-term project (with potential for ongoing involvement)
