Why are we crowdfunding?
We need funds to refurbish our new venue. It will be used as a cultural centre for our Activities and Events, Educational and Wellbeing Programmes, Exhibitions.Before we can open our doors, however, a considerable amount of refurbishment and renovation needs to be undertaken due to the property being damaged by previous tenants. The space is a short 5-minute walk from Govanhill's busiest street, Victoria Road.More Information About Us - Informal Education, Youth Empowerment, Community, Roma Arts and Cultural DevelopmentOur anti-racist, human rights based Community Development work supports Roma individuals in their day to day lives, facilitating increased social, civic, and cultural participation.The centre will provide informal education amenities such as a computer cluster and a small library, it will offer a range of community and social activities to bring people together, combining events open to all – such as our annual programme of cultural events – with targeted activities for specific groups.
Youth Empowerment is at the heart of everything we do, and this will extend to the centre's ethos; by ensuring that youth input is central to its vision and outputs, as well as acting as a base for our young activists to meet, learn and plan their changemaking!With also a vibrant programme of permanent and temporary exhibitions showcasing the very best of Roma Art and Culture. The centre will house a community archive, featuring collections produced by and for the community, and our artist-in-residency programme.
