About us

Who we are

Fun Palaces supports local people to co-create their own cultural and community events, across the UK and worldwide, sharing and celebrating the genius in everyone.

We are a small team based in South London and across the UK, with everyone working part time and flexibly. We welcome all backgrounds, and will always want different perspectives, experience and knowledge contributing to our future. Our roles grow with our people, and while we all pitch in to keep things going, there is scope to develop the work in accordance with the interestes and talents of the people doing it.

FUN PALACES MANIFESTO

We believe in the genius in everyone, in everyone an artist and everyone a scientist, and that creativity in community can change the world for the better. We believe we can do this together, locally, with radical fun – and that anyone, anywhere, can make a Fun Palace.

FUN PALACES AIM

We aim to equally value everyone’s creativity and every community, through working together, handing over control and challenging the status quo.

FUN PALACES OBJECTIVES

  • To shine a light on and value everyone’s existing creative skills and activities.
  • To reclaim local and regional public spaces for all.
  • To connect people (and organisations) to collaborate for change in their communities.
  • To make the most of local, regional and national strengths and assets, including individuals’ abilities.
  • To shift the perception of culture to one that embraces and values everyone’s cultural participation and production, and for resources to be apportioned accordingly.

You can read more about what we do and how we do it (including reports on our annual weekends of action since 2014), in the About Us section of our website.
