Empowr began with a simple observation: across our communities were countless empty halls and unused spaces, sitting idle for most of the week. We set out to bring life back into them as hubs of experiential learning.

An EELA Space is a permanent home for Empowr Experiential Learning Activities: a place where people of all ages learn by doing, and build confidence, connection and wellbeing along the way. Every Space starts with skating, through our MoveWell programme, and grows from there.

Today we rely on hired halls. A space of our own means more sessions, more people reached, and a building that gives back to the community around it instead of standing empty.
