ST MATTHEW'S COMMUNITY ENTERPRISE CENTRE
Where heritage, enterprise and radical community spirit come together.
St Matthew’s Community Enterprise Centre is our latest regeneration project, a Grade II listed Victorian church reimagined as a vibrant destination for enterprise, creativity and community life. Restored with care, we are bringing together beautifully preserved heritage and contemporary workspaces.
Since opening in 2025, St Matthew’s has become a catalyst for connection and collaboration, hosting all types of events and welcoming thousands of people for training, research, networking and cultural activity. With flexible co-working, serviced offices, meeting rooms and a dramatic conference space we support freelancers, start-ups, SMEs and social value-driven organisations to grow, experiment and thrive as part of a welcoming community.
