**ABOUT US**

Margate is home to an established and burgeoning creative community and has been identified as a key production hub within the Thames Estuary Production Corridor. While statistics show creative businesses have grown in the town, Margate has lost significant amounts of commercial spaces in the last 20 years. Coupled with rising rents for the remaining eligible spaces, this has created a lack of appropriate venues for the variety of artistic pursuits. Creative practitioners and businesses urgently need space to enable them to stabilise and see the sector grow in Margate. Taking inspiration from other land trust models developed to provide affordable places to work and live, the Trust in Margate will ensure that its creative spaces and accompanying programming are inclusive. A central part of its mission is to support under-represented or disengaged communities to access opportunities within the creative industries, including mentoring, jobs, training and enterprise development.

The Trust was co-created with the community and local creative practitioners, and was established as an independent entity on behalf of the Margate Town Deal Board. Substantial funding has been secured from Central Government through the Margate Town Deal, and the Margate Creative Land Trust was registered as an independent charity in April 2022. Its goal is to purchase physical space in Margate, provide affordable rents and deliver community programmes to support inclusive, sustainable practice in the creative industries in Margate and across the area of Thanet.

**Vision**

A thriving, resilient and innovative creative sector that provides inclusive enterprise, employment and learning opportunities for people living and working in Margate and the surrounding areas.
