y is a self supporting independent space. Where-ever possible, use of y resources for peers is free or through minimal donation.
y does not rely on grant support: we are as interested in social ecology as environmental ecology and are committed to sustaining the footprint of our own cultural economy as modestly as possible. This involves integrating ecologies of financial resources, social resources and the environment.

Our finances are divided into 2 categories:
A. Our capital works to pay for building works, maintenance, cost of professionals - lawyers, accountants etc involved in the set-up
B. Our day-to-day running costs.

A. is financed principally by our studio workspaces by rental contributions.
This recovers most costs if workspaces are fully utilised over the duration of our lease.
B. is to be covered principally by donations by our peer users and supporters.
