📢 We are very excited to announce that we have found a new long-term home on the third floor of Holborn Library. With support from the Clore Duffield Foundation, the library has renovated a space on its third floor to create a makerspace, which we will use as a base for our community projects for a minimum of three years.
The premises are currently being renovated, but we hope to move in by the end of April 2025 and be ready to offer services to local primary schools by the end of May.
This is a significant development for us, as we have been working from a temporary, meanwhile space for the past year, delivering projects and building support within the local Camden community. We are now in a position to offer programmes and partner with schools and other bodies working with children and young people to maximise our impact and address educational inequality within the arts.
🙏 Particular thanks must go to Sam Rowe, Senior Community Partner at Camden Council within the Equalities and Community Strength and Corporate Services department. He was instrumental in helping us connect with library services and in brokering the agreement between us and the library. Fiona Tan, Head of Libraries, has been a great advocate for our work, supporting us in securing a three-year agreement with the council to be based in the space at an affordable rent.
We are also deeply grateful to Abul Kashim, Digital, Learning and Programme Manager for Holborn Library, and Haleema Ali, Community Library Manager, who have provided us with regular access and have been incredibly accommodating and supportive, despite our frequent requests to visit and check on developments!
