How can we make a sustained commitment to places for culture? In 2023, 100% of our clients were public, third sector or charities and 70% of our work was with repeat clients.

In the ‘customers’ pillar of our Impact Report 2023, we focus on a particularly significant relationship with the Greater London Authority’s #Culture and #Creative Industries Unit, whom we have worked with across the last decade to understand, support and embed culture within the capital. 2023 marked ten years of We Made That’s engagement with culture in London and our production of London’s first artists’ workspace study.
