Work for Change is a co-operative made up of tenants of the workspace at 41 Old Birley Street, Hulme. It is a company limited by guarantee, with co-operative rules.
Work for Change rents space on flexible terms to local, ethical, and cultural businesses. The company aims to create a supportive atmosphere for small businesses to succeed, welcoming both existing and new start businesses.
There are offices of a range of sizes, artists areas, workshops and a cafe, as well as a small theatre (The YARD). Have a look at the theatre events page to see the current classes and events happening in The YARD.
Anyone can join the co-operative. Members get a 25% rent reduction and help to control the quality and policies of their workspace and ensure that the facilities needed for the success of their businesses are available, such as a shared digital photocopier. Members have to come to at least half of the monthly management meetings.
