Saving the NGC and NGCA

A community campaign to gain access to the current plans for the continuation or closure of the National Glass Centre building

What do we want from this campaign?

Ideally, we want to find a way to save the building as it is. To do that we need to know what it needs. That way, we can try to formulate a plan of action for both organisations to be saved, and for the building to be improved. This could be an opportunity to radically address the problems, including the extreme energy consumption, to make both of our national organisations leaders in the cultural sector.

Information about long terms plans, time lines, and the recent consultation report about the building, has not been released.

< Edit this has been released but we want more clarity. See the consultation on our links page.

Naturally, this has left local businesses and creatives wondering about the future of these two National organisations.

We seek to gain information, and an audience with the custodians of the building, Sunderland University; with an intention of saving the skill of glass blowing in St Peter’s ward.

How can you help?

You can join our mailing list, and give us a testimonial that we can use to demonstrate public love for the NGC and NGCA.

We are going to need active participation in lots of different ways. We are going to need organisers, event coordinators, social media content and management, councillors, MPs, governors, and cultural organisations to support us.
