Community

West12 Shopping Centre is located at the heart of Shepherds Bush and seeks to play its part in supporting local charities and initiatives. 

We seek to assist by offering:

  • Display space in the centre to promote your organisation     or cause.
  • Community events hosted in the centre (see below).
  • Special events to raise profile and money.
  • Physical assistance, e.g. staff may choose to volunteer.

We also participate in national community events which are sponsored by our centre owners, Land Securities Group PLC.

Please contact us if you believe we may be able to assist.

 

Community Involvement

The aim of community involvement is to make a positive contribution to West12, focusing on local issues and strengthening/building on local pride.

As part of its work with the community, West12 Shopping Centre participates in national sponsorships and community activities initiated by its owner Land Securities Group PLC.

Bush Theatre - Stovepipe

Stovepipe was a collaboration between  Bush Theatre, The National Theatre and West12.  Set in the basement beneath Morrisons supermarket, it was a striking dramatisation of former journalist Adam Brace's experiences of Amman. The basement was transformed to depict various compelling scenes which the audience moved through as the cleverly constructed plot unfolded.

This innovative use of basement space, and creation of a win-win relationship was due to the foresight of West12’s centre manager. Jason King, who has a strong literary background, identified the basement as an ideal location for the show after discussions with Josie Rourke, artistic director of the Bush Theatre. The use of dead space to support the arts ticked all the right boxes for West 12, both from a void strategy perspective and in predicating the centre’s strong community ethos.

Ongoing Support

The office block on Rockley Road and one of the centre's empty units, are currently being used by Bush Theatre as rehearsal space.  These spaces have been offered to the theatre to support and promote local culture.
