ACTION AID

w00rk helped ActionAid transform an old grammar school in Copenhagen into 6 floors of co-working, office and event space for not-for-profits, training facilities, accommodation, a volunteer run café and a public urban garden. In addition to designing the space, 00 developed the business model as well as management and governance structures that would allow ActionAid (one of Denmark’s biggest NGO’s) to host another 15 organistions in the space and turn an annual deficit of £70,000 associated with the running of the building into break-even within its first 10 months.
