**About us**

The Design Cabin Community C.I.C is a youth led not-for-profit that supports young people under the age of 30-years-old in design, technology, entrepreneurship, employment, creativity, and selfexpression.

Founded in May 2020, The Design Cabin C.I.C wanted to support young people to create their own peer-led opportunities, by showcasing the amazing talent that today’s youth have, in a possible platform, away from negative stigma that young people face in the media.

The not-for-profit runs youth markets for small business owners to trade and for performers to showcase their repertoires with the aim of creating a like-minded community of young people. The company hopes to create opportunities for young people to utilise their existing skills and to learn new ones while promoting a culture of conversation about and planning towards young people’s futures.

In January The Design Cabin Community C.I.C was awarded Social Enterprise of the Year 2023 at Rochford Business Awards.
