We’ve Been Shortlisted for a Sceptre Award with The Mall Wood Green!

We’re proud to share that our partnership with The Mall Wood Green has been shortlisted for “Community Initiative of the Year” at the Sceptre Awards 2025.

Organised by Retail Destination, the Sceptre Awards celebrate excellence in the UK retail sector. They recognise shopping centres, teams, and initiatives that are making a meaningful difference in their communities. To be shortlisted among the most impactful projects in the country is a real honour and a powerful reminder of what can be achieved when people work together with purpose.

At Cultural Fashion & Arts CIC, our mission is to bring people together through cultural expression, creativity and heritage. The Cultural Style Week Expo 2025, hosted at The Mall Wood Green, was a landmark event in that journey. It welcomed more than 250 participants and over 2,000 attendees in a one-day celebration of fashion, live performance, cultural storytelling, market stalls, and the #MyCulturalStyle exhibition. Visitors explored traditions from across the globe, shared through the personal stories of those who live them.

This recognition reflects not only the success of the event but also the strength of our long-standing partnership with The Mall Wood Green. Since 2022, the Mall has supported our vision, hosted our first exhibition in 2023, and served as the founding venue for the Cultural Style Week Expo in both 2024 and 2025. Its continued commitment to community, creativity and inclusion has helped transform the centre into a vibrant cultural destination.

We would also like to thank the many communities, creatives, performers, designers, volunteers and families who took part in the 2025 Expo. Your energy, heritage and passion are what made this event so special.

Finally, congratulations to all the other nominees in this year’s Sceptre Awards. We are in excellent company, and we look forward to celebrating with you.
