About

Three Sheffield creatives.
One CIC behind the work.

SCO CIC is run by Akash Hashmi, Chris Brayford and Leigh Redhead. Chris leads breaking. Leigh paints walls and runs workshops. Akash handles the funding, budgets and systems that keep projects moving.

That setup now supports Industrial Elements, 09 Murals and This Is Us. Each project keeps its own identity and direction. The CIC gives it somewhere to put the contracts, money and paperwork. Any surplus stays in the CIC and goes back into community work.

Project Support

Got a strong idea?
Let's make it real.

Tell us what you want to do, who it is for and what is getting in the way. We start with free Sheffield support where it fits. If the project needs a home, we can take on the budgets, applications, admin and reporting while you stay in charge of the work.

This is not an agency taking ownership of your idea. SCO CIC is asset-locked. Any surplus stays with the CIC and supports more community work.
