Somewhere to Give a Space

somewhereto_ is a project inspired by the London 2012 Olympic & Paralympic Games, which helps young people to find the space they need to do the things they love, within sport, culture and the arts in their local community.

Do you have local access to a field space for a group of young people to practice their football skills, court space where a basketball tournament can be held, hall space for dance rehearsals  or gym space for a young individual to improve their gymnastic routine?

If the answer is yes, somewhereto_ wants to hear from you!

Please visit the somewhereto_ give-a-space website for more information and details about how you can help by giving a space to the project.

www.somewhereto.com/spaces/give-a-space

There is more information about the project below, and it would be really great to hear from you and potentially arrange a meeting where we could talk about the project further and look at ways in which you might want to get involved.

Don’t waste your space Make it a somewhereto_ space!

somewhereto_ is a nationwide project to help 16–25 year olds find the space they need to do the things they love within sport, culture and the arts.
