Himmah

Name of Organisation: Himmah

Himmah is a Social Justice Organisation, with a mission to tackle food poverty, racism and educational inequalities. As well as operating the largest independent food bank in Nottingham, we offer hot meals every week, distribute school uniforms to low-income families, and campaign to eradicate disproportionality in stop and searches, among other crucial initiatives. We work to tackle injustice on our doorstep

Summary of planned improvements 

Himmah will refurbish the upper floor of its community hub at 37A Gregory Boulevard to create a modern, accessible, and flexible space that better serves local needs. The improvements will include installing energy-efficient lighting, new electrical points, modular furniture, carpeting, and inclusive architectural design. This transformation will allow the venue to host a broader range of activities, from skills training and workshops to peer-led social events and creative sessions.

The new layout will support diverse community use, enabling simultaneous activities such as mentoring, informal learning, co-working, and wellbeing programmes. It will also provide a welcoming environment for individuals often excluded from traditional community, cultural, or educational spaces, including older adults, disabled people, and those experiencing social or economic disadvantage.

The refurbishment will also significantly increase opportunities for volunteering, with new roles supporting events, outreach, and learning activities. By improving energy efficiency, the space will become more sustainable and cost-effective, allowing resources to be reinvested into community initiatives.

Ultimately, these enhancements will foster deeper community engagement, empower residents to shape and lead activities, and strengthen Himmah’s role as an inclusive and trusted anchor in Hyson Green and wider Nottingham.

Planned completion date for improvements: 09/2025
