You Can Make
It Happen

Your Eyes on the Street Make All the Difference 

  • Know a vacant shop, old pub, office or factory gathering dust & pigeon poo?

  • Want to be the matchmaker between empty spaces and cultural regeneration?

  • Can you see yourself sharing your work there?

Let’s give those places the love and life they deserve, together. We’re avoiding gentrification by making locals the front and centre of our partnerships.

How It Works

Spot an Empty Property

Ideally it's got a ground floor and two empty floors above, empty offices or light industrial

Take Pictures

Take as many as you can from different angles. We aren't so interested in properties that already have for sale or to let signs already outside unless they've been there for months/years

Fill out a Form

Find the link to the form at the foot of the page. We need some preliminary information to get an idea if it's what we need

Collaborate

We buy or lease the space and breath new life into it. You can enjoy rewards such as sourcing fees, incubation, funding and priority access to the creative live/work hub

Future-Proofing

‘Successful high streets will be judged on the amount of
quality time people spend, not how much money they spend’

Kwesi Johnson

Let’s create something remarkable

If you are the type of person that can recognise potential where others see a problem, you’re the creative we want to partner with.

Bring culture, innovation and community back to your high street while building your own creative future.
