Space2 has strong, long-term relationships with our local communities, schools and neighbourhood organisations, collecting stories, memories and local histories that inspire our projects. We have a passion for arts because we love to tell untold stories that are part of the fabric of local communities to connect people. With participation and representation at the heart of our creative projects, residents and professional artists work side by side to tell stories with, by and for our communities.
We also offer a range of activities from gardening and growing to drama classes that promote new friendships, growing confidence and skills, a sense of belonging and wellbeing. Find out more here www.space2.org.uk.
