Our Spaces

Every room designed from young people's ideas

We asked young people what they wanted, in person and on social media, then built it inside a former Co-op department store.

The gaming room with racing simulators and wall screens

Gaming and digital room

The idea young people asked for most. F1 racing simulators, PS5 and Xbox, gaming PCs and a 3D printer.

Funded by the National Lottery Community Fund Million Hours Fund. Flooring donated by Amtico.

The Vault

The old Co-op bank vault, once a dumping ground, is now our DJ and podcast room. Young people choose the topics, book the guests and lead the conversations.

Door and storage by Impartlink.
