Community spirit is uplifting, says Prep

Holly Wilson, owner of Prep Cookshop in Stoke Newington is joining forces with neighbouring businesses to improve community facilities in 2022. The local business group is applying to Hackney Council for funding for its ‘See you in Stokey’ campaign.

“As part of that we are pitching to use funds to revamp some of the communal gardens around Stokey to make them a brighter and more fun place to hang out – they are currently run down and therefore underused,” explains Holly.

She acknowledges: “It feels so positive to be working on this community side along with the other traders and the team spirit is really uplifting. When trade feels hard, and costs and supply are such a depressing conversation, the light that this brings reminds me why I love having a local independent shop.”
