Urban Foundry

We started out as practitioners – social entrepreneurs wanting to do some good in the world. Our work is fueled by a strong creative streak, which began in the creative sector, delivering live music events, pop-up galleries, community projects and social enterprises. At the same time, we were founded on the back of a strong social sciences discipline – social research, urban design and regeneration, and socio-economics. That three-way mix of creativity, a strong theoretical social sciences underpinning, and a socially entrepreneurial streak, combine to make us unique.

We’re a purpose driven company and a certified B-Corp (see below). We are also an accredited Living Wage employer. We want to make a positive difference in the world through what we do and we think creativity and good ideas can do that if given the right support and encouragement.

Since 2004 we’ve been forging great ideas that change the world for the better by turning good ideas into reality, helping to sustain them, and learning what works and what doesn’t so that even better ideas can be developed in future.
