56 Church Street, Lancaster, LA1 1LH
Lancaster & Morecambe’s hub for creativity for 11-18 year olds! A world of fun, a space for self-expression and a home for kindness!
Escape2Make moved into its home in February of 2025 and we couldn’t be happier! It is a space made by young people, for young people – designed by our Youth Board, with all of the bells and whistles being made during the E2M Fair 2025, by young people in sessions who upcycled furniture, made botanical art pieces, painted a mural and made the space a home.
Our staff are typically in the Centre Monday – Friday, 9am-5pm. Feel free to pop in and say hi!
The E2M Centre is proudly an inclusive space for all. If you spot any ways that E2M can improve accessibility in the Centre, please reach out to us on info@escape2make.org
Escape2Make is a space for everyone. We do not tolerate any form of bullying, harassment or discrimination. E2M’s Behaviour Policy details E2M’s firm stance on inclusion and treating everyone with respect.
All young people at Escape2Make are required to agree to the Kindness Contract, which ensures that participants are kind to others, the space they’re in and themselves.
Both the Behaviour Policy and Kindness Contract can be found on our Policies page
We endeavour to keep the Centre as warm as possible. This is more difficult in the Winter than the Summer, but there is a full central heating system that keeps the Centre warm, which anyone can request for a staff member or facilitator to turn on at any time.
There are also a collection of blankets (some of them are weighted blankets) that can be asked for. Simply let an adult know you’d like one and they’ll fetch one for you.
Not just anyone can walk into the E2M Centre. When you arrive, please press the buzzer to the left of the door. This should ring the buzzer sound, alerting someone inside to open the door for you.
Only adults are permitted to answer the door. We ask that under 18s don’t answer the door for safety reasons. The only people answering the door should be adults wearing E2M t-shirts or E2M staff.
For every session held at the E2M Centre, Escape2Make will reimburse your bus fare to remove financial barriers and encourage environmentally conscious ways of travelling to sessions.
Ask your facilitator or a staff member to reimburse bus fare at your next session to receive up to £4.50 back.
You must show them a valid ticket on the day of travel that they will either need to keep a copy of or photograph.
Escape2Make is full of wonderful people. From our facilitators, assistants & volunteers who you’ll meet in sessions, to the staff team who work out of the E2M Centre, to the team of incredible Trustees and Advisors who help behind the scenes!
You can learn about everyone involved at Escape2Make on the People page.
