At the heart of NEKO’s mission and a huge undertaking for the charity is our long term project of building five new independent music venues across the UK.
The aim is to create multi-purpose venues that will act as a communal hub for the local and wider community, a place of learning for our live events students and a state of the art venue for music, comedy, poetry and the arts in general.
It is our intention to offer learning opportunities and jobs within the venues to our students, ex offenders, ex military and those disadvantaged among the population with an interest in the live event industry. Our venues will also have the infrastructure to allow more established bands to play intimate shows to family and fans while also giving the younger, less developed bands the chance to play on a great stage with amazing sound, lights and visuals.
