The Foundry – a place for change – is the result of a collaboration between a number of leading Trusts and Foundations and the Ethical Property Company. Based in Vauxhall, London, it provides space for some of the country’s most innovative and progressive social justice and human rights organisations through the provision of ethically managed and affordable workspace, conference facilities, events and exhibition space that will support the local community, the wider public and the social change sector.
