'Cockpit Arts is vital to contemporary applied artists. It is so important for us to support young makers, who else is going to do it?'
Lady Gloria Dale, Cockpit Arts Collector
'Coming to Cockpit Arts is an essential part of my calendar, I have made a lot of friends amongst the people here and it is a privilege to have direct access to first rate work before anyone else.'

Which one of these describes you? I am:
- A passionate supporter of the creative arts
- Someone who wants to invest in the next generation of designer-makers
- An independent shopper who loves to buy individual and unique gifts
- Local to the Holborn or Deptford areas and care about regeneration and small businesses
- A practicing designer-maker who believes in supporting your discipline
- Someone who likes socialising in an unusual and creative environment with like-minded people
You've come to the right place! By becoming a Friend you will help Cockpit Arts to support some of the UK's most talented designer-makers whilst getting some great benefits along the way.
We know that it can be tough for designer-makers to start and grow a business so we offer them an affordable package of services that can help them to succeed. Whilst benefiting from our support, designer-makers are also developing creatively - producing exquisite and inspirational pieces.
So that the designer-makers most in need of our support can afford to access it, we operate as a social enterprise and offer our services below commercial rates. This is where our Friends contributions make all the difference by bridging the gap.
Becoming a Friend of Cockpit Arts couldn't be easier. Just decide at which level of support you would like to join, and request an application pack. If you would like to meet in person to discuss your support please contact Vanessa Swann directly by email or on 020 7419 1962.
You could also find out if your workplace supports charitable giving through a Payroll Giving scheme and sign up to make contributions through them – that way your contribution will go further. Payroll Giving is an easy and tax effective way for you to make regular donations directly from your pay to charity.
