Our Dream
As HeroWork replicates into more communities, we envision a national movement of charity renewal that will impact urban centres across Canada.
HeroWork Vancouver
HeroWork Canada will establish its next HeroWork Chapter in Vancouver in the Fall of 2021. If you represent a Lower Mainland Charity that serves vulnerable populations, we want to understand the state of your charity buildings. Please complete this short Needs Assessment Survey and we will get in touch with you.
The Problem:
DIMINISHED BUILDINGS
Many charity buildings and infrastructure are in poor condition, diminishing non-profits’ ability to deliver important social services, to be innovative, and respond to changing needs of vulnerable populations.
The Solution:
RADICAL RENOVATIONS
HeroWork consults, designs, and completes transformative renovations of charity buildings by mobilizing the community through Radical Renovation events.

RENOVATING A SINGLE CHARITY
IMPACTS MANY PEOPLE
Vulnerable Population
With increased programming, innovation, and beautified spaces, many of our most vulnerable are affected across the social impact spectrum through HeroWork projects.
Staff
With more efficient workflows, high safety, and better aesthetics, staff are more satisfied and inspired to do good work.
Neighbours
With a design process that consults neighbours and community, neighbours feel more connected and engaged to charities.
Volunteers
With higher quality and purpose-designed workspaces, volunteers feel more valued and enjoy deeper impact for their service.
RENOVATING MANY CHARITIES
IMPACTS A COMMUNITY
Renewed charity buildings ripple out impact for decades. As more and more buildings are transformed the charitable landscape shifts, lifting the overall health of a community.
IMPACTING MANY COMMUNITIES
CHANGES A NATION
As HeroWork expands into more communities, we envision a movement of charity renewal that will impact urban centers across the country.
