Hi, I’m Mena, and I’m raising funds to help open The Creative Vault at no 27 pembroke — a welcoming, community-led space where people can come together, connect, and explore creativity.

This project is incredibly important to me because I’ve seen first-hand how much people need safe, supportive spaces — especially those who may feel isolated, overwhelmed, or simply in need of somewhere they belong. The Creative Vault is about more than just a venue; it’s about building a community. A place where people can attend workshops, learn new skills, share ideas, and feel part of something meaningful.

We’re not creating a traditional café — instead, we’ll offer simple refreshments like coffee and cake for those attending workshops or as part of a membership, keeping the focus on creativity, wellbeing, and connection.

The funds raised will go directly towards:

Securing the space and covering initial rent

Basic setup costs (furniture, materials, and equipment)

Creating a warm, welcoming environment for workshops, artist in residence spaces, community sessions and gallery space.

Supporting the early stages while we build a sustainable model

Every contribution, no matter how small, will help turn this vision into a real, accessible space for the community. Your support isn’t just funding a building — it’s helping create opportunities, connections, and a place where people can truly feel at home.

Thank you so much for believing in this and being part of the journey.
