Why membership?
We decided to go down the route of a membership model of funding Norwich Hackspace as we think that this will give us the most flexibility, independence and long-term sustainability, allowing the hackspace to grow with the demand and enthusiasm from the people involved.
Other hackspaces around the country have been successfully established using this model and we think it makes sense to follow their example rather than reinvent the wheel.
The idea is that people pay as much as they can afford, or as much as they value the group and the sessions it runs - with a minimum suggested amount to ensure a level of commitment. If people really can't afford £15 a month then we can make an arrangement. You can join for a month but we hope you will stay longer. By joining, you become part of the Hackspace community.
We have a great space in Muspole Street on a meanwhile lease from owners of the land around us, The Shoe Factory Ltd, who provide us with space on an affordable rent. Ultimately, we will probably need to move to a space at a commercial rate so we need to build up reserves.
We may apply for grants from time to time for a specific purpose but we intend to keep the core costs paid by collective membership.
If you would like to join please fill in the form
Any questions please email or call 07946 261651
