OpenSpace is a proposal for a weekly daytime space where asylum-seekers, activists, local people and anyone fighting immigration controls can gather to organise campaigns, share skills and resources or just hang out.
OpenSpace will be run by whoever uses it. Their priorities will determine the activities
and resources of the space. Upstairs a small room is available which can be used as a
crèche, office space or library. Downstairs is a larger shop front space which can be
used for workshops, banner-making, political discussions, film-showings, projects,
language classes or a free shop. There is a small kitchen for cooking food and making tea and coffee and space to store things until the next session.
People reporting to Communications House can come to the space before and after signing. They are welcome to leave details of friends, relatives or solicitors to be alerted if they are detained.
Anyone who would like to use the space or support it in other ways is invited to the
planning meeting. 10-20 volunteers are needed to commit to being at the space on at least one occasion every one to two months. Once this happens, OpenSpace will be up and running.
