Riverside House is an ambitious social regeneration project that has repurposed a neglected grade II listed 19th Century iron masters house and grounds into a stunning health & wellbeing Centre with café, craft shop, workshops and cultural events. Meaningful, social activities, in a conducive environment, can make a significant difference to the quality of our lives, both for the local community and specific beneficiaries. This is achieved through the delivery of traditional crafts, the arts, ecology, heritage and land based activities

Transforming Places can Transform People

Deepening our relationship with history, environment and culture through intervention to the landscape, crafting artefacts and developing art practices, in communion with others, is profoundly satisfying and transformational. We support rigorous, researched practices that embody and enrichen relationships with each other and our surroundings.

“A project such as Riverside House has the potential to transform the prospects of a whole community” Kate Braithwaite MBE-Operations Director at UnLtd - grant funders who support social entrepreneurship
