<p>The shop and design studio was set-up under the Government's 'Empty Shops Revival Plan' iniciative&nbsp;with the help and support of <a title="Wolverhampton CCC website" href="http://www.wolverhamptonccc.co.uk/">Wolverhampton City Centre Company</a>, <a title="Wolverhampton City Council website" href="http://www.wolverhampton.gov.uk/">Wolverhampton City Council</a>, the <a title="DCLG website" href="http://www.communities.gov.uk/corporate/">Department of Communities and Local Government</a>, and <a title="Hortons Estates website" href="http://www.hortons.co.uk/">Hortons Estates</a>.</p>
<p><strong>We Create*</strong> generated &pound;20 000+ in-kind help and support to secure and set-up the new shop and incubation space and &pound;5000+ funding.&nbsp; <strong>We Create*</strong> managed to beg, steal, and borrow a range of fixtures, fittings, equipment, and facilites from rolling cages, pallets, counters, peg board, to fire extingishers in 6months.</p>
<p>The new shop and design studio allows <strong>We Create*</strong> to scale-up its initial Birmingham retail opperation 3-4 times the size and add the design space facility to help and support more local young designers, illustrators, and creatives.</p>
<p>The design studio allows local young designers, illustrators, and creaties to develop designs for retail and run fashion and design-based businesses.&nbsp; The design studio also allows <strong>We Create*</strong> to run projects/workshops/courses in partnership with other Social Enterprises, Charities, Community Groups, and organisation to help&nbsp;young people in the local community&nbsp;from disadvantaged&nbsp;and socially excluded background interested in fashion and design.</p>
