turning spaces into stories_
somewhereto_ is a service that helps young people access space.
Since June 2010, somewhereto_ has unlocked over 380,000 sq ft of space (both physical and digital) across the UK which was previously empty or underused (the rent value of which if leveraged would exceed £2m). We have also negotiated over 4,000 direct matches between spaces and young people in need of space, engaged with thousands of young people and reached millions through high-profile activity around space.
somewhereto_ is funded by a £7m injection from the Big Lottery Fund, granted in December 2012 to support its UK-wide expansion over the following four years, in partnership with YouTube and delivered by youth engagement agency Livity. somewhereto_ has also been awarded £50,000 from Nesta as part of their Innovation in Giving Fund.
From a sweet spot to practice penalties to the perfect place to exhibit artwork, if you're aged between 16-25 and looking for somewhereto_ practice, perform and showcase your passion (or just a space to meet and get creative!), get in touch now. Search for your space here.
Got an empty shop, a bit of neglected land or a website/virtual space that could showcase a young person's digital skills? Whatever space you've got, we can help you turn it into a somewhereto_ space. Donate your space here.
If you're aged 16-25, got bags of energy and the spark to help turn somewhereto_ into an even bigger success then we want to hear from you. Find out more here.
Our regional coordinators provide ongoing support, working directly with space-holders and young people nationwide to match them with great spaces. Meet them all here.
Our central support team is ready to answer any other questions you have! Contact here.
