Grenfell matters, that’s what we told London Live
I asked SPID to run the community rooms in 2005 because we couldn’t manage them ourselves. If it weren’t for them, the space would still be rotting
Ivor, Kensal resident, SPID project board member
Working with SPID is less of a job and more of a calling – I never knew community theatre could make me feel so alive
Byron, SPID general manager, Portobello resident
I share SPID’s vision that we are all equal – that people should always work together, whatever their background.
Anita, Kensal resident, Refurbishment project board member
SPID has been a saving grace for local people like me who lost friends to Grenfell,
Naomi, SPID spokeswoman, Reader’s Digest
Spid the spider spinning its web, a safety net … where we make a stand! spreading truth throughout this land.
Urban Dandy London
These kids are lucky to have SPID’s drama – classes that don’t cost a penny.
Russell Brand
We mustn’t lose these places of value – SPID is my ally in fighting the sell off of estate’s communal spaces.
Shan, Trellick Graffiti Garden
I am proud to be part of SPID’s shining example of how high quality community theatre can be.
Katie Elston, Head of Marketing at the Royal Albert Hall
There will doubtless be bigger budget productions in response to Grenfell but it’s hard to imagine any of them will offer more passion on sincerity than SPID’s…Helena Thompson’s passionate drama is a celebration and defence of social housing
★★★★ The Guardian
SPID has made me see North Kensington’s council estates differently. I appreciate the amazing way they bring people together!
Lecia, SPID trustee, West Londonner
‘The free workshops at SPID were a fabulous opportunity for my daughter; we could never have afforded to pay - she went on to study theatre at Brit School!
Angie, North Kensington resident
