DESIGN FOR ALL has been set up to provide 2 to 4 small charities and community organisations with professional expertise to get their building projects off the ground.

The support programme provides expert advice for building related projects which are in early development. This is often the most challenging part of the project to find funding for. The programme is available to charities, community groups and other organisations that make positive contributions to their community and believe in good design. It is available to all England based charities and community organisations with a turnover of less than £1 million.

The applications for 2024 will open soon.

L8 MATTERS CLT

L8 Matters Community Land Trust had the prospect of being granted some land to develop affordable housing by the City of Liverpool. In order to do so, they needed some help to produce a capacity study.

Design for All helped L8 Matters to envision the possible layouts, programme and brief of the Old Public Baths Site in Liverpool.

DEEPLISH COMMUNITY CENTRE

Deeplish Community Centre in Rochdale wanted to create a garden classroom; an adaptable learning space with sustainability aspirations.

To support this, the Design for All team produced a brochure that the community centre team will use for funding applications.
