Open Doors Project™
Good workspace shouldn't only be for people who can afford it.
The Open Doors Project™ is how ARC makes sure it belongs to the neighbourhood, not just to its members. Every ARC Club holds space for local organisations doing meaningful work nearby. The same desks. The same coffee. The same hosts.

Access, not charity.
Open Doors provides free or subsidised workspace - desks, meeting rooms, event space - to local charities, community groups and social enterprises who need a proper base but can't afford one at commercial rates.
It's not a separate programme that happens alongside ARC. It's built into how every Club operates. Each location maintains a small number of Open Doors places, approved through a clear process and reviewed regularly.
Open Doors members use ARC exactly as paying members do. Same space. Same welcome. No distinction.
Who's already here.
