Community

Creating space for community

We built SeaSpace as an open, welcoming hub for Porth and Newquay, a coastal spot where locals, visitors, independent makers, and regional charities gather, connect, and thrive together.

Back to Impact

Local partnerships & shared spaces

We collaborate with regional independents to bring vibrant everyday experiences right to your doorstep:

  • Padel & sport: Teaming up with UK Padel, we brought a five-court padel setup to Cornwall, hosting regular junior sessions, beginner socials, and local school tournaments.

  • Eateries & local flavours: We work alongside regional producers and local friends like Tallo to bring local food and drink straight to your plate and our larder.

  • Events & networking: Our doors stay open for local business networks, creative workshops, and regional celebrations like the Be Newquay Festival.

Charity & local support

We love using our spaces to boost local causes and social initiatives:

  • Newquay Foodbank: We run a regular food donation point, share meeting spaces with the foodbank crew, and host dedicated wellness sessions for their project clients.

  • Community education: Working with Cornwall Rural Community Charity’s ‘Work Your Way’ scheme, we host taster days and hands-on work placements for SEN further education students.

  • Subsidised access: We offer meeting rooms, event spaces, and class passes to local non-profits, volunteers, and community organisers.

  • Newquay Orchard: We’re proud to support Newquay Orchard through volunteering, community events, and funding accessible facilities that help more people connect with nature.

  • CHC: Teaming up with the Cornwall Hospitality Collective (CHC), we bring local businesses, students, and hospitality pros together—fuelling fresh skills, vibrant networking, and hands-on training.

Inclusive by design

SeaSpace is built for everyone to enjoy:

  • Easy access everywhere: Ground-floor studios, level threshold access across main public areas, hearing loops, pool hoists, and dedicated accessible parking ensure easy moving all around.

  • Inclusive communication: Our team is Makaton aware and we have flashcards across host desks so everyone feels heard and welcomed.

  • Community wellbeing: Drop into our weekly studio schedule—ranging from pregnancy yoga and baby massage to meditation and open wellness workshops.
