Fabrica is a registered charity (1055584). We fundraise from individuals, companies and foundations who want to support our mission of presenting high-quality art and craft to a broad audience, enabling more people to access, enjoy and learn from it.
As public funding sources are increasingly under pressure, fundraising is crucial to Fabrica’s future.
We may use information about you (including for instance where you live, your age and other demographic information) to help us to understand your interests and preferences. We may also use publicly available information about you from sources such as public registers, online (for instance, LinkedIn or Companies House) or the electoral roll. We do not currently use third-party researchers or profiling companies for this but we may choose to do so in future in exceptional cases.
We want to contact you only when it may be relevant. By better understanding the background of our supporters we are able to make appropriate requests for gifts that will help us continue to keep the gallery free and deliver our rich community programmes.
We will always keep your rights and interests at the forefront.
You have the right to opt out of any of this processing at any time. If you wish to do this, please use the contact details below.
Please bear in mind that if you opt out, this may affect our ability to carry out tasks above that are for your benefit.
We are committed to safeguarding children, young people and vulnerable adults. An important part of doing this is to protect their privacy.
