Third Space emerged out of the joy of third spaces… not friends or family, not work colleagues but a third space - the social glue that holds us together if you like. Where shared purpose and connection come together to create exciting things focussed on communities.
Who is involved?
This Third Space is emerging out of Bradford based social enterprise Street Space. We’re a bit of a mix of things, part community conveners, facilitators and catalysts with expertise and experience in reimagining (often a bit unloved) public spaces with people living nearby, testing audacious ideas out in public and connecting the dots to (try) and make things happen. We’ve just published a Ginnel Garden Guidebook for Bradford District here and are working on an exciting programme of unlocking more street play for kids by activating existing parent peer networks, you can watch a short film about this here.
Early adopters and collaborators locally include Sophie Hardcastle.
