After operating for fifteen years they need to secure a long-term space to cement the work they do with young people. Having a home would allow the organisation to be more sustainable and resilient, and respond more easily to demand and increase the number of beneficiaries. Funding has been requested from the Cultural Space Development Fund Pilot to engage a consultant to help secure a space and develop an operational business plan/structure.
