FORM+FUNCTION CIC
FORM+FUNCTION CIC
FORM+FUNCTION CIC is a new, one-of-its kind, change-making creative studio in Portsmouth.
We’re proud to be a Community Interest Company (CIC) and happy to be part of the membership body Social Enterprise UK (SEUK) which supports “business for good”
A registered social enterprise, we work in areas across Portsmouth and the UK where there are economic, physical or social deprivations – to help communities and improve the urban environment.
Our projects show that practical problem solving doesn’t have to be ugly, and visual impact can be socially informed -that one doesn’t have to negate the other.
We believe that the most impactful, lasting design, is a happy marriage of both FORM and FUNCTION.
“Annabel’s passion and vision for transforming the city’s creative landscape is evident in the numerous urban rejuvenation projects she has led on in the past two years.
Portsmouth is fortunate to have her.”
– Roni Edwards; Director, Pamodzi Creatives.
“FORM+FUNCTION are dedicated to enhancing local communities and improving urban environments which they do with a fabulous considered and collaborative style.
Annabel has a fantastic eye, is all about the detail, and has a way of making difficult projects successful and sustainable. Her commitment to her values runs through all her ventures and she is a pleasure to work with.”
– Paula Falck; Network Manager, The Girls’ Network.
“Annabel at FORM+FUNCTION has been brilliant to work alongside and has really added so much value and support to our project applications here at Portsmouth Pride. The way she approached our project concept and undertook so much self-directed learning on a niche issue was really refreshing and she epitomised what it is to be an Ally working with queer people.
We're looking forward to being able to work with FORM+FUNCTION more in the future on creative projects to benefit our growing rainbow society.”
– CP; Vice Chair Portsmouth Pride.
“FORM+FUNCTION have given local communities energy again.
The amazing work they have done to re-design Orchard Park is incredible. What a way to engage young people and encourage them to be and stay active.
F+F also created the branding for Platform Portsmouth and delivered the brief beyond what we could have expected.
I am so pleased to know such a community focused group.”
– Alexandra Ruddock; Lead of BLM Portsmouth and Co-Founder of Platform Portsmouth.
“I was absolutely blown away by the work, Annabel and her team at FORM+FUNCTION did for Orchard Park. If you have an unusable space where kids can come and be creative or sporty this is the team you need! I totally understand that councils up and down the country have limited time so I would 100% recommend FORM+FUNCTION to come in and do an incredible job for you.
To this day, I still get parents telling me what a life-changer Orchard Park has been for their children.”
– Lulu Whitmore; Founder, Love Southsea.
“I never fail to be impressed by the energy and dynamism of FORM+FUNCTION and their awesome public realm projects. They solve critical community issues by an innovative fusing of art and design, and in short – make Portsmouth a better place.”
– Joanne Bushnell; Director, Aspex Portsmouth.
