Our building is home to more than 20 resident organisations that form an essential part of our creative community.
Our residents connect with us through their creativity, energy, and passion for the communities they work with. They operate in many areas including production, contemporary art, charities, music – and much more.
As a charity, the income we earn from workspace rentals supports our mission to transform lives through creativity. This funding is essential for our projects and initiatives.
We love being around other creative people, charities and businesses. Because our work is all about having a positive impact on the community, it’s important that we’re based in a venue that is so strongly rooted in the local community.
