Upstarts has been developed by Workshop to support young businesses in their early stages of growth and development, giving founders a home in a community of creative businesses.
We aim to support local start-ups who may need expert advice, a physical space to work or simply some confidence-building in developing and nurturing their ideas.
Upstarts is sponsored by Workshop primarily and our generous community, who give their time to advise and mentor.

“The Upstarts programme gave me the confidence to try new ideas, the support to follow them through and a network in my local city, I’m not sure I’d be anywhere near where I am without it”
Charlie worked with Sam Barber from Well Thought and Alex Marshall from Spot The Gap, both Workshop members.
