My Mate

My Mate is about bringing people together. Specifically we are on a mission to create and document stories of where strangers - from different backgrounds - have become friends. We are currently running a Restaurant Pilot with Peckham Levels, with the idea of bringing together similar (eg. both have an interest in gardening) but different people (eg. different religions) to share food, share stories, have fun and most importantly meet someone from outside of their bubble. So ask yourself: when was the last time you met someone who is 'like' you, but not 'like' you? We are also documenting these interactions in order to tell a different story about the world. One which says that there will always be reason for hope and optimism, because we share more in common than we think.
