Tangram is working with Camden Council
Tangram is partnering with Camden Council to evaluate the Cultural Education and Learning Support Fund (2023–2026). The fund awards grants of up to £25,000 to help cultural organisations in Camden provide free creative experiences for young people. Together with Camden Council, local organisations, and young participants, we’re developing an in-depth evaluation to be shared in June 2026.

At Tangram, we explore how this approach drives placemaking, cultural vibrancy, and community value. In this post, we highlight best practices from leading organisations Hypha Studios and Meanwhile Space.
