Lambeth Council were presented with the award for Best Programme of Support for Small Business for the Lambeth Works affordable workspace programme at the Small Business Friendly Borough Awards. Organised by the Federation of Small Businesses and London Councils, the awards highlight the pivotal role played by London boroughs in supporting and promoting the capital’s small businesses.
Lambeth Works is a strategic response to the need for more affordable workspace. It contributes to Lambeth council’s drive to create a world-class ecosystem for start-ups and micro-businesses within the borough.
Affordable workspace, co-working spaces and business incubators are highly effective at supporting micro-businesses. Providing the flexibility and support they need – easy-in, easy-out terms; increased networks; access to collaborators and talent.
Lambeth Works has directly supported the establishment of a number of workspaces across the borough, including; Granby Space in Lower Marsh; the Health Foundary at St Thomas’ Hospital; POP Brixton; and Build Studios in Waterloo. Over the next five years, Lambeth Works aims to have supported the creation of at least 120,000 sq. ft. of new affordable workspace.
