Partners

Partisan Collective provides an inclusive, accessible, not-for-profit platform and space in Greater Manchester where their members meet, share, learn, create, perform and dance.

Partisan is a members led arts and community space and multi-stakeholder cooperative that has over 500 members and a rich history of putting on first rate, inclusive and accessible events. Partisan has been a tenant of Islington Mill for the past three years.

Partisan use the profit from the club nights and gigs they run to be able to give free or cheap community space to those who need it. They have regular book clubs, folk clubs, printing clubs and many more, host organisations such as the Trans Liberation Assembly, Just Do The Thing, as well as one off events with a wide variety of speakers and facilitators, from DJ Workshops to Book Talks to Theatre Rehearsal and Performance!

Their governing structure mirrors their values and one way in which they are trying to redefine what community spaces and music venues could look like and work. As a members-owned cooperative with more than 500 members, at General Meetings members help shape their direction and hold the staff and board accountable through scrutiny of accounts and wider questions.

Partisan are a small staff team, operate along cooperative principles and are all paid the same salary. The management of the cooperative is spread across staff, the board and voluntary working teams, with every member having a stake in the organisation and contributing to our strategy and helping shape our working culture.
