Welcome to Optimism

Your Own Great East End Walk

Last month, our whole agency ventured out into the spring sunshine for our annual walk in memory of lovely W+Ker Cheryl Rogers, raising funds to help St Joseph's Hospice in Hackney do the amazing work they do. Every year, they help look after over 1,500 patients as well as offering much needed support to family, friends and the wider community surrounding the hospice.

It was a wonderful day and we highly recommend getting out and exploring the neighbourhood in the name of a great cause.

Inspired to do something similar? You're in luck: our friends at the hospice are organising the brilliant 2015 Great East End Walk, which takes walkers on a 10- or 15-mile route through the area, from the vibrant East End parks to scenic canal paths.

On top of being a creative here at W+K, Katie teaches on the Illustration Pathway at Central Saint Martins.
 
As part of the Restless Futures Programme, Katie's Stage 2 students have created a virtual gallery that harnesses the power of the Internet to spread messages of sustainability, titled #NOMORESTUFF. Although the exhibition exists in no physical form, their bite-size mantras, or eco canapés, will live on the Instagram as a visual dose of sustainability-themed inspiration.
