Free office space at Oblong

Oblong is offering up to 8 Leeds based, not for profit groups, working with a social aim, the chance to have free office space with us for up to 6 months, to help you develop your project.

The Co-operative Foundation has kindly granted us the money to make this possible.

You will have 24hour access to our resource centre , your own desk, filing cabinet, storage space and where possible a computer (though we cannot guarantee the computer). You will also have broadband internet access. The only thing you will have to pay for is your printing and stationary costs!

The Great Lumley Fee Sumit - a success

You may have noticed that we were closed for a couple of days earlier in the month. This was for us to plan for the future of Oblong, to set out our direction over the next few years. Ten of us spent from the Sunday (12th) to Tuesday (14th) looking at where we are now, where we would like to be and how we are going to get there.

Steve has written an excellent report which you can download below.
