The City Belonging Project is a new City of London Corporation initiative to build a more inclusive and connected Square Mile, supporting and improving the links between diversity networks. This helps to ensure that the City’s institutions and events are more open to our communities than ever before.

GIVE AND TAKE DAY
Give and Take Days are free community events where you can donate items in good condition and pick up something new-to-you, helping reduce waste and support reuse in the City. The day is split into two parts: a morning “Give” session for dropping off items, followed by an afternoon “Take” session where you can browse and take home what you need. This event also includes a Tech-Takeback collaboration, offering secure data-erasure and recycling for unwanted electronics. All City residents and workers are welcome to take part.
