So we have a beautiful building where lots of us have been busy beavering away to create a beautiful space.

Lost and Found Social Centre will be a free space for people that feel
lost in this capitalist, hierarchical, oppressive society in which we
live. To find others that feel the same and to create a positive space,
free from discrimination, where we can socialise, express our creativity,
learn from each other and share ideas and experiences.

creativity and activity for 16 days: from 11th October to 27th October
