Using a process of community leadership, cultural exchange, creative activity, education and social enterprise Metal is skilled at developing new partnerships and alliances of diverse stakeholders to re-invigorate spaces, energies and opportunities - social, economic and cultural - within a neighbourhood. We believe that building new investments of ideas, participation and finance that grow from the neighbourhood and are nurtured to reach an audience across the UK and overseas can be a catalyst for change and excitement that transforms places both galvanises people. We are committed to this process of placing culture within the regeneration of Kensington a district in the city of Liverpool. Over the last 24 months we have been working from a house in Kensington demonstrating how this concept, and our commitment and energy can contribute to an area, bringing new activities, ambitions, opportunities and skills, and re-integrating a previously unused space into an active and vibrant life within the community. The Metal House now attracts visitors from around Liverpool, the UK and the world, and presents a positive and creative experience of the area. In addition, Metal has just secured a lease on the buildings at the historic, Edge Hill Railway Station. Metal intends to transform these station buildings from disused, forgotten spaces and bring them back into a creative life that unites the arts, culture, heritage and community.
