Sponsor a Room
Sponsoring a room, or securing naming rights, is a meaningful way to turn your support into something lasting. Everyone who walks through that door will see your name or brand and know the space exists because of you. It’s a reminder that your generosity isn’t a one-off, but a foundation that keeps providing connection, employment pathways, and real impact for years to come.
The Rooms
-
67m²
The heart of the ground floor and the front door to everything Grace Street does. A welcoming place to meet new people or simply relax, hosted by trained volunteers who connect visitors to the people and opportunities that suit them. It opens out alongside Studio 1 and Studio 2 to form one large connected space, so your name sits at the centre of the building’s biggest gatherings as well as its quietest cups of tea.
