We’ve moved!

On Monday 18th August 2025, the team started the mammoth task of moving from our old base of Prosper House to our new home in Wakefield. We’re now all set up and we wanted to give you full details on how to find us.

Our new address is The Workspace, Space Station, 6 Denby Dale Road, Wakefield, WF1 1HR, Whatthreewords location ///entire.energetic.hurray. It’s a large warehouse-looking building opposite the right hand side entrance to the Sainsbury’s car park on Ings Road. This is what the building looks like from the front:

When you visit us though, you’ll need to go to “The Workspace”, on the side of the building, rather than the main reception at the front of the building. This is where it is and what it looks like:

When you get to The Workspace, you’ll need to press the intercom for either Office 2 if you are visiting the staff team or Office 15 if you are coming for a course/workshop and one of the team will buzz you in (you need to pull the door, not push):

We are located on the first floor, so you will go up one flight of stairs, through the white door, then the grey door and then left down the corridor. If you have access requirements that mean you are unable to use stairs, please see below for more information on our lift access.

 

Please make sure you do not go up to the second floor (up the green and yellow metal staircase) as this area is alarmed and is only for gaining access to the storage units and for an emergency fire exit).

Office 2 is almost at the end of the corridor on the left hand side. Office 15 (our classroom) is a little over halfway along the corridor on the right hand side. If the lights happen to be off when you reach the corridor, please don’t worry! In keeping with our sustainability and green pledges, the lights will come on automatically as you start walking. This is so that no one can accidentally leave the lights on!

When you come along to a course or workshop with us here, this is what the room looks like. It’s small and cosy on purpose so that our groups here won’t be any larger than 10 people, plus two tutors, and we have lots of options for the layout of the room to make it appropriate for delivery of each specific course. We share this space with the Here For You evening service, so if you ever need their support, you will then be familiar with the space that they use.

 

Disabled access

Please head to main reception on arrival where one of our team will be there to meet you if you are coming for a course/workshop that you have confirmed a place on or a pre-arranged visit/time. The reception area is nice and welcoming – Dave, Murry and the rest of the team will let us know if you arrive early so that we can pop down and meet you.

We’ll then head to the lifts together to get to the office and course space. This is through the storage unit, so we’ve provided a few photos and a video so that you are fully prepared for what this will look like if you’ve never been in one before. Either of the lifts will take us to the first floor where the office space is and we’ll always come out of the same door we went in to (you’ll see in the photos that one of the lifts has an additional set of doors in green at the back that also opens the other side when on the first floor):

When you leave, we’ll do the same in reverse, but so you know what the inside of those giant loading bay doors look like, we’ve also taken a photo of that! You’ll just need to push the big red button on the right to open the door and head back out of the main entrance we came in through:

 

We hope you like our new space as much as we do. We know it’s a little unconventional, but it’s a lovely and welcoming space and we’re sure we’ll be happy here.
