Hackspace
Foundation

The Hackspace Foundation is a non-profit, community organisation dedicated to providing hacker spaces in the UK.

Hacker spaces are physical places where people can meet to learn, socialise and collaborate on projects.

There is a rich tradition of hacker spaces worldwide, including Noisebridge in San Francisco, Metalab in Vienna, CBase in Berlin, and NYC Resistor in New York. The Hackspace foundation was formed in January 2009 in response to the lack of hacker spaces in the UK. Since then, we've helped groups in more than six cities start creating their own spaces.

We are the parent organisation of the London Hackspace, but we are also coordinating many other spaces in the UK. Currently we know of the following spaces:

• London Hackspace
• fizzPOP (Birmingham)
• North West Hackspace (Liverpool)
• Leeds Hackspace
• Bristol Hackspace
• SoutHACKton (Southampton)
• York Hackspace
• HACMan (Manchester)
• BuildBrighton (Brighton)
• E-Space (Exeter)
• Shropshire Hackspace
• Madlab (Manchester)
• Nottinghack (Nottingham)
• Reading Hackspace

If you're thinking of starting a hacker space in the UK, we can help you.
