Our work

Watershed’s current home opened its doors in 1982. In 2019, we declared a climate emergency, committing our carbon emissions to net zero by 2030. Our building currently presents substantial environmental, operational and maintenance challenges, with several elements reaching the end of their life. The most urgent priority is the repair and retrofit of our building. However, our vision is of a place-led redevelopment that balances the changing needs of our organisation with adapting to the impacts of the climate crisis.  

We call this Watershed Wild and Generous.
