SCENARIO FOURBY JENNA WALMSLEY, HOLLY
ARCHER, CHRISTOPHER DALEY AND TOM QUINN
A space for youth: http://somewhereto.com is a charitable organisation that exists to help young people find unused local spaces and places, which they can then repurpose in order to engage in activities related to sport,
culture and the arts. The local branch of somewhereto wishes to commission a small-scale piece of research, to find out: what local places
are available; how they can be matched-up to the interests of local youths; and, any issues/barriers that they may come-up against.
What do they do?
