"The Assembly Hall is a fun and informative place to gather and learn. We offer creative workshops for individuals and small businesses wishing to learn a new skill or brush up on an existing one. It is really about empowering small business owners and individuals to up-skill so that they can take care of areas of their lives or businesses that they would otherwise need to outsource," says Grace Collective member Charlie Cameron...
If you’re in Singapore, make sure you check out The Assembly Hall, which Charlie launched last year with business partner and fellow expat Kate Gallagher. Charlie describes it as a “fun and informative place to gather and learn”, and it provides creative workshops on everything from interior styling to photography for beginners. “Kate and I believe in passing on our skills and knowledge to others,” says Charlie, “that community over competition is important and helping others to achieve their goals is a wonderful way to give back.” On the success of The Assembly Hall, Charlie says: “It’s in part because people need a sense of connection – it can be extremely lonely to establish a business on your own – or to move country as an expat. We give people the chance to connect with others and feel part of something bigger. Our workshops are typically four hours long and are always hosted by a professional from the relevant industry. They are hosted in my black and white home and are informal and relaxed – oh, and we serve yummy food too!” Head over to www.theassemblyhall.com to find out more about the workshops on offer in October.
