BARKING SHOP

Overview

55 Ripple Road was the first Every One Every Day shop to open. Operating as a ‘neighbourhood shop’ since 2018, It was previously home to the Citizen’s Advice Bureau and was significantly upgraded to make the space feel more open and inviting. The space boasts a large bright and inviting main space that is flexible and can play host to all manner of activities.

This is complemented by multiple smaller rooms that are easy to reconfigure to meet a range of needs, plus a community kitchen which can easily accommodate groups of 10 or more people cooking together! It even has a small yard that can accommodate a barbecue in summer. It is fully wheelchair accessible, and a brilliant place for family activities due to a spacious baby change and smaller spaces that are excellent quiet spaces.

Nuts & Bolts

The space is heated by a gas central heating system, and is fitted with CCTV. The kitchen is currently registered as a food business, but this is awaiting review.

People

The space at Ripple Rd has been attended by thousands of local residents since opening, and is a well known landmark in the area. There are a number of local residents that would be keen to continue to have an open space at this location, and to continue cooking and playing activities if possible. Alongside general use by the community, it has been used by a variety of different local organisations that have made use of the various spaces on offer. From support services that have used the quiet office rooms, or local businesses, charities and organisations that have hosted events such as cooking sessions or play activities. It will likely be a space that is in high demand for individual and group use for as long as it is available to the community.
