Good for nothing is the social mission of The Pipeline Project.
We give time, money and energy to do stuff that supports people trying to make positive impact and change happen.
Right now we do this in 2 ways.
Firstly via drop-in sessions that we’re currently piloting with Bethnal Green Ventures. Offering innovation, brand and communication support to a number of social enterprise start-ups.
And secondly through creative, collaboration gigs. These bring together a large diverse group of talented people to work with grass-roots, cause-led social innovators in a playful, competitive, experiential experience lasting from 4 to 48 hrs.
A think/hack/do/creative collaboration challenge event thing.
Good for Nothing is founded on 3 core principles
It’s not that hard to talk clever and think big and there’s an oversupply of that in our world. Too often big thinking doesn’t lead to big doing. We look around and see so much that needs doing. Roll up your sleeves and ‘fail gloriously’ as Duke once said. Good for Nothing stands for the permission to have a go, get involved, participate and to try stuff.
Words we all hear a lot but true collaboration, where real diversity and openness is welcomed, where we let go of power and control, where we self organise and allow ideas and energy to emerge more naturally and where we prototype and develop them rapidly. We want to do more of that.
Give creative energy to the real innovators trying to make positive change happen. When we look around for social, environmental and human innovation, a lot of the most exciting stuff is happening at the grass-roots. We provide creative support to those pioneers. We think that can help accelerate positive change and impact.
