This is a longstanding milestone for the fifteen Queen Street team, and by reaching it we get an ever-louder voice to shout about what our community wants and needs.

This month our newsletter bears good news. We are proud to announce that in recognition of your support firstsite has secured a £40,000 Arts Council grant to help us make vital improvement to the fifteen Queen Street building, our infrastructure and the facilities we strive to provide.

The grant will cover the cost of fundamental changes that will ensure the building fills its true potential - transforming fifteen Queen Street into a truly inspiring place to visit or work. We’ll be getting a fresh lick of paint, the tired carpets will be replaced and floors will be sanded and varnished back to their original Victorian finish. We’ll also be sourcing a super-fast dedicated internet line and upgrading the heating system.

Thank you to everyone who has persevered with the building in its current state, through the freezing winters and boiling summers. We’d also like to say a big thank you to the team at firstsite; without their ongoing support and trust we simply wouldn’t have got this far.

To have your say and keep abreast of progress simply follow and comment on our blog or stick a post-it on our ideas and feedback wall here in the building.

In the meantime, ‘Keep calm and carry on’. Please continue to enjoy the building and everything we have to offer. We still have both resident and flexi desk space available, as well as huge list of creative events to get stuck into this month - 26 and counting!
