Participant Support for CoWork Newtown's Cultural and Creative Support Program (2)

A great support program for emerging businesses that is giving our business a huge opportunity to grow and develop.

As a member of a startup currently benefiting from the services provided by this program, I support this application and hope this program continues to support businesses.

Co-Work newtown is an engaging and inspiring work space for creative businesses. It offers a convenient and affordable space to work in the heart of Sydney's cultural postcode - 2042. As a parent with a preschool aged child, having the rare opportunity to run my own business in a professional setting on a part time basis is imperative to my ability to connect with artists in Sydney and third party stakeholders who are interested in supporting the arts projects that I run. Already I have begun to make new contacts through my connections with CoWork Newtown which will benefit my business, and consequentially the many Sydney artists that I work with. Being able to host meetings in a purpose built meeting space has genuinely raised my confidence and my reputation. I recently gained a new work contract after hosting a meeting at CoWork Newtown and had I not had the opportunity to work and host meetings at the space, I probably wouldn't have had the confidence to set the meeting up in the first place. The mentors available through CoWork are outstanding and after one consultation with a mentor, I have clear plans in place and experiencing business growth. My core business involves work as a Curator, Consultant, Publicist and Project Manager working with street and urban artists in Sydney and this initiative not only benefits me - it benefits a broader stable of 60+ artists in Sydney - and a number that continues to grow now that I am at CoWork Newtown.

Very useful, helpful ,a great place to work

Great team, great space for the community and a wonderful initiative to ensure business success!

CoWork Newtown is providing a platform for people to achieve their goals, with the support not only from business experts, but also from others in their industries and other small business owners who are experiencing the same situations within their business's. People here are happy and totally enjoy working in Newtown's weird and vibrant precinct.

CoWork is a fantastic local initiative helping to boost local businesses. The grant itself is helping local creative and cultural businesses get off their feet, putting them in a space surrounded by other local startups whose knowledge is then shared, which will help foster a stronger local economy & community.

Without CoWork Newtown, our start-up would not have been as successful as we have been so far. The space and location has been critical to our ability to see clients and hire employees. The mentoring and work culture that they have developed has helped us in so many ways and means that all our staff are keen to come into the office. Thank you CoWork Newtown!

CoWork is an excellent workplace backed with an amazing initiative to help grow small local businesses. The support and interactive engagement benefit greatly and are extremely important to building such a great community.

CoWork is an amazing initiative which allows local businesses like ours to focus on growing and delivering great services. The ongoing help and support provided is key in achieving our goals.

I am a director of a local startup. We benefit massively from our office at CoWork. Myself and all our employees eat in Newtown.

Without coworks support I could not have sustainably grown my business from 1 to 3 people in 3 months. To continue growing my business will need ongoing support.

Great to have this support and advice when running a small business. I have learnt many things in a short time.

CoWork Newtown is exactly what will underpin "Creative City Sydney"!

This business hub is a great addition to Newtown and aspiring small business owners. We have just seen the opening of it, and has already made an impact in such a short time. With the continued support of the cultural and creative program the sky is the limit.

Really amazing to have this kind of support as an emerging creative business.

A wonderful and important initiative to support our creative cultural sector.

This course is life changing
