Long term vision
The website is part of a wider partnership project with BIS and RSA to support and understand
the impact of Makerspaces as an emerging sector in the UK. The overall project has four
interconnected strands a) website build b) local engagement c) information and advice, and d)
partnership development
In phase one we want to create a site that provides information, resources and a searchable map.
