What would happen if Londoners today grew and harvested crops, produced drinks and set-up their own company? This is what the Company project has been set up to do. Developed by the artist group Myvillages and led by artist Kathrin Böhm, the project will establish a self-sustaining community drinks co-operative in Barking and Dagenham, owned and run by local residents. The project is open to everyone in Barking and Dagenham. Ageing Well Programme 2018 to 2019 13
