Core Objectives
- Space Generator’s mission is the revitalisation and transformation of vacant commercial property Into inspirational eco community centres for the benefit of people and planet.
- These centres bring environmental, creative and economic activity into local areas. They also provide a dynamic space for cultural expression and arts. Acting as community organised spaces for artists creatives and entrepreneurs.
- These community hubs provide physical space for people to gather, learn about the climate and social crisis, and develop solutions for a sustainable future
- Communities need space to put projects into action. We support the upscaling of repurposing vacant property into eco centres in the high street focussed on community led solutions.
Space Generators charity trustees have several decades in the field of environmental based community organising.
Space Generators is a registered charity, attracting a mandatory 80% saving on business rates. In some circumstance we can negotiate a discretionary 100% business rates relief with the local authority through providing community use of space.
Our pioneering team have enabled and empowered many community groups over the last three decades. Landlords, councils and community groups are connected for the innovative use of space. We currently support the Climate Emergency Centres project which has facilitated 27 + new eco community spaces across the UK
Vacant properties are a valuable resource. In conjunction with the Mayor of Londons Environmental Strategy, our ethos is to reuse wasted resources where possible. This not only includes using vacant property but, waste food, furniture, computers and any other useful resources. Building the infrastructure for a regenerative circular economy one space at a time.
Moving beyond highly criticised live-in schemes, expensive security guards, non secure/ unsightly boarding, our caretakers’ team provides security and building maintenance.
