Hackspace Foundation

Hackspaces are places you can visit to meet people, learn, socialise, and collaborate. A place to make your own projects a reality or help others with theirs.

There is a rich tradition of hackspaces worldwide. In January 2009, the Hackspace Foundation was formed in response to the lack of hackspaces in the UK. Since then, we've helped many groups create their own spaces.

In the future we plan to start allowing hackspaces to apply for membership of the foundation. This will help us add some weight behind negotiations of supplier discounts, as well as have a known source of advice on how to start and run a hackspace.
