'the advancement of education','the advancement of citizenship or community development','the advancement of the arts, heritage, culture or science'

We provide an inclusive (free) program of creative arts learning projects, focused on opportunities for young people (by referral). We work with local community service providers and dozens of community group partners to deliver a program of cultural events and community led exhibitions and events. We do training in digital media skills/employability for ages (13-26) focused on protected characteristics groups. We have created a welcoming and attractive space (ex retail) in the centre of our city that is a convening spaces for all the charities, groups, and the growing local creative/arts community we support. Our busy, welcoming creative space hosts artist studios and community tenants: Stirling Community Radio Station and The Kitchen @44. With gallery spaces filled with quality work by local artists and makers, we have successfully created a dynamic hybrid community venue and model that provides us (and local artists) with income that is integral to our future sustainability.
