Embed anti-racist and inclusive practice across your organisation
Take the Space provides structured implementation frameworks, toolkits and guided programmes for cultural organisations ready to move from commitment to consistent organisational practice.
Built from over 30 years of cultural sector leadership and delivery.
From Intention to Implementation
Many cultural organisations have completed training, written action plans, or made public commitments. What is often missing is a defined organisational structure that translates commitment into sustained practice.
Take the Space provides structured implementation frameworks and guided programmes that establish organisational clarity, define priorities, and embed inclusive and anti-racist practice across governance, leadership and operational delivery.

Cultural Sector Client
'We explored what anti racist practice is and how it requires us to identify where racism exists in systems, organisations, structures, policies in practices and attitudes, and the ways and areas in which we can effect change. The day’s training allowed us to reflect deeply, leading to a range of insightful discussions and a space to consider how we can further implement best practice across our projects, audiences, at board level and in collaboration with partners moving forward. The training highlighted current challenges working within the arts and cultural sector, and empowered the team to build anti-racist practice into all areas of our work.
