Excellence 

Our community pushes the boundaries of innovation - whatever industry our members work in, ARK coworking hosts the leading entrepreneurs in their area of influence. 

Community

We think people work best in community. Our members can trust one-another, being open with their business plans and colour palettes,  open to new ideas. 

Collaboration

Ideas come about through conversation and relationship. Beyond just renting a desk, collaboration happens over a falafel thursday lunch, a pour over coffee, or simply a natter with all the other coworkers around you.

Creativity

ARK coworking is a community where members can innovate. Whether you are a freelancer, a social enterprise, or charity, ARK coworking is a place where creativity flourishes and is celebrated.

Generosity

Good things happen when people and businesses act in generosity.  ARK runs as a more-than-profit. That means charging membership only to serve our members, with any surplus going to developing the community and supporting local charities.  

Our mission

We are an affordable coworking community that

• Develops genuine community for freelancers, startups, social enterprises and charities, inspiring collaboration and creativity;

• Brings to life large, empty properties, regenerating an area through the engagement of small businesses with the needs of a local area;

• Actively impacts the wider community by giving our time and a percentage of membership fees (we target 5% of membership income) to support local charities and initiatives through ARK for Good, and through affordable memberships and bursaries;

• Is doing our best to leave a smaller a footprint on our planet while we’re at it.

ARK is a genuinely affordable coworking space with community and collaboration at its core; designed to provide a home for creatives, freelancers and start ups, which impacts a local community for good.

We look to provide the first rung on the ladder for any freelancer, start-up or social enterprise starting out, by providing an affordable workspace that brings individuals out of their bedrooms and coffee shops into a space that has values of community and collaboration. We believe there are core principles needed for people to be supported and flourish in their work and creative practice.

Commitment to have a positive impact on society and the environment
