After six wonderful years, we would like to announce a new chapter in Streatham Space Project’s story.
Unfortunately, after a series of unsuccessful funding bids in quick succession, we are confronted by the funding challenges within the arts sector and have been forced to reconsider our model of operation for a sustainable future.
We are exploring every conceivable way to save SSP as a cultural and community resource for the people of Streatham, and that means making some tough decisions about how we operate in the current climate.
We are in the deeply saddening position of scaling back our model in order to protect the organisation for the long-term, which means that in the short-term we will have to reduce our staffing and programme.
We will still exist as a cultural and community space that may be hired out for events, rehearsals, artistic residencies and more, but our artistic programme cannot run as it has.
Some existing programme will continue – please see our What’s On page for more information.
With your help, our journey can continue.
Most immediately, hire our spaces and have your events at SSP! This will help us build back stronger.
Where possible, donate and partner with us!
Kind donations, partnerships and sponsorship from individuals, trusts, businesses and foundations support a sustainable Streatham Space Project.
The Board of Trustees would like to thank every single person who has helped make and shape SSP: the original founders, past and present staff, sponsors, donors, SSP members.
And of course, all artists and audience members who have ever set foot into our beautiful venue.
As we move on to the next chapter in our story, we encourage you all to continue supporting us, hiring us, and nurturing creativity and joy within our community.
Best wishes,
Brian Harris
Chair of the SSP Board of Trustees
