FABRIK Launches Pioneering New Startup in London Focused on Combating Loneliness and the Rise in Vacancy from Remote Work
Thursday 6 July, 2023London, England - In a world where loneliness is escalating and spaces once full of life stand vacant, FABRIK is thrilled to launch its pioneering social impact initiative in London. This purpose-built initiative is more than just a business venture—it's a mission to restore human connection and community in a time of increasing isolation and digital dominance. By partnering with local community builders, civic organizations, influencers, and thought leaders and repurposing spaces now vacant by the surge in remote work, FABRIK aims to cultivate deeper, more meaningful communities.
The essence of community is intrinsic to human existence, and its absence profoundly impacts our well-being. The global pandemic has expedited a transformation already in progress, altering our living and working landscapes. Recognizing this, FABRIK has acknowledged the crucial need to rejuvenate social engagement and face-to-face communities. Concurrently, we are seizing the opportunity to utilize a growing number of spaces left unoccupied due to this shift in our work and connection dynamics.
Recognizing London as one of the world's 'loneliest cities,' FABRIK is driven to make a significant impact. We are seizing the opportunity presented by the city's immense potential and the escalating number of underutilized spaces. Our mission is to transform these spaces into dynamic hubs for social interaction, collaboration, and creativity, with the goal of fostering a genuine sense of belonging. Our commitment to this cause is both a response to London’s loneliness epidemic and a proactive approach to the rising vacancies in its once-vibrant spaces.
Our intention is to create a self-sustaining community ecosystem within these spaces. FABRIK provides a curated portfolio of the city's world-class spaces that can be used by individuals, groups, or organizations to convene, engage, and interact. This initiative is not just about repurposing spaces but also about fostering a diverse network of individuals united by common values and interests, thereby actively combating the pervasive issues of loneliness and isolation.
FABRIK is dedicated to nurturing communities by addressing the unique needs of our stakeholders and tailoring our offerings accordingly. For community builders, we provide a platform that activates, enables, and promotes communities of any scale. We provide unique access to leaders in Gathering and Belonging to inspire and mobilize and offer a curated portfolio of world-class spaces for in-person community gatherings.
For individuals seeking their community, FABRIK serves as a bridge to a myriad of ideas, identities, and perspectives. We provide an avenue for them to discover inspiring voices and join local networks of people who congregate to connect, create, learn, and flourish.
For space owners, FABRIK presents fresh opportunities to activate and monetize underutilized or vacant properties. Our digital marketplace connects them with people and communities in need of space while offering insights into the types of spaces that are most in demand.
FABRIK is deeply focused on fostering community growth and providing an exceptional experience for its community members. Our goal is to maintain an inviting and inclusive environment that allows members to fully engage with their surroundings, thereby enriching their overall life experience.
Furthermore, our dedication to social responsibility guides us in our efforts to provide space for all groups. Through partnerships with local charities and community organizations, we aim to align our initiative with a broader vision of positive social impact, striving to create opportunities for individuals who might otherwise face challenges in accessing such spaces.
To kickstart our launch, FABRIK will host a series of intimate gatherings and salons throughout July and August, curated to ignite engaging discussions on the topics of gathering, belonging, and loneliness. These gatherings are not centered around pitches or agendas, but rather aim to foster open dialogue and inspire proactive action.
FABRIK invites individuals, community organizations, and businesses alike to join the movement in combating loneliness and creating a more connected world. By working together, we can make a tangible difference in the lives of those who yearn for meaningful human connection.

"Our world is grappling with a growing epidemic of loneliness, exacerbated by the shift towards remote work and virtual connections," says Peter Espersen, Co-Founder of FABRIK. "FABRIK was born from a profound understanding that we need to transition our communities from virtual spaces to tangible, real-life interactions. The increasing vacancy of spaces that were once bustling with activity presents us with an opportunity to repurpose them for this very mission. For us at FABRIK, bridging this gap isn't just a feature or a pitch—it's our core mission. We're thrilled to embark on this journey in London, a city celebrated for its incredible diversity and rich cultural landscape, filled with extraordinary, underutilized spaces that can be transformed into hubs of community and connection."
