A series of publications documenting the community at the heart of Save The World Club.

This Kingston-based, grassroots charity has been supporting a variety of social and environmental causes since its founding in 1985 by the ever-eccentric Des Kay. The charity is kept alive by the efforts of a tireless and diverse body of volunteers, marking 2025 as its 40th year running.

I'm Going To Save The World (Club) peeks into the warehouse and captures the stories of its people; join in on conversations that reveal the struggles, successes,and day-to-day lives of the club's members.

Textual and photographic elements were gathered over the course of 5 months as I befriended and joined the volunteer team. This ethnographic documentation process gave way to hearty chats, in-depth recollections, and lasting relationships.

Materiality was at the heart of the publication’s development to reflect the chaotic scenes of the warehouse whilst taking the charity’s sustainable values into consideration. The paper stocks were sourced from the charity’s own stationery section—giving every copy a unique character in its combination of papers whilst carrying the history of its previous owners.

Spreading the word

Over the course of May 2025, all copies of I’m Going To Save The World (Club) were sold across three venues.
