turning spaces into stories_

about us_ 

somewhereto_ is a movement to liberate underused, disused and empty spaces in the UK and get everyone thinking creatively about their communities. We've helped thousands of young people find somewhereto_ do the things they love and unlocked over 400,000 square feet of space. And that's not counting the space we've helped young people claim in the digital world.

Run by Livity, in media partnership with Channel 4 Education, somewhereto_ is funded by Legacy Trust UK, creating a lasting impact from the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games by funding ideas and local talent to inspire creativity across the UK.
