We’re open for good business!

On 28th June, 2021, Better Space was officially opened by Islington Council and City, University of London, in a small, celebratory event!

The sun was shining and the rain had kindly ceased so that Councillor Matt Nathan and Professor Anthony Finkelstein of City, University of London could cut the ribbon and open the doors to the space.

Our key partners and colleagues were taken on tours of the space and facilities (see here!) before being seated in the event area downstairs for speeches by some of our key partner guests.

Attendees enjoyed a Better Space do-goody-bag full of treats and gifts from some of our favourite social enterprises (check them out here) as well as networking in their tables of 6!

If you know any entrepreneurs looking to make a positive social impact, or a small business looking for affordable coworking space, get in touch with us here.
