In the United Kingdom [[social center|social centres]] can be found in [[squatted]], rented, mortgaged and fully owned buildings. Social centers differ from [[community center]]s in that they are run [[Autonomy|autonomously]], usually without assistance from the state/corporations. The aims and policies of the centres are determined by those running them.

==Social Centre Network (of Wales, Ireland, Scotland, England)==
[[Image:UK social centre network map.jpg|thumb|upright=1.65|right|Map of social centres in the UK in 2006]]
The '''Social Centre Network''' (also known as the Social Centre Network, or previously titled 'Social Centre Network of UK & Ireland'), is a grassroots initiative to establish a [[Social network|network]] between self-identified radical independent community [[social centres]] in the [[United Kingdom]] as well as also in [[Ireland]]. It has recently changed it's name to the Social Centre Network (of Wales, Ireland, Scotland, England) or 'SCN (of WISE)' for short.

===Organisation===
There is no single policy statement but a general desire to improve communication and co-operation between "the growing number of [[autonomous space]]s to share resources, ideas and information".<ref name=bri2 /><ref name=uscn /><ref name=bri1 />

===History===
The group can trace its roots back to networking between the autonomous clubs of the 1980s such as [[Centro Iberico]], [[Wapping Autonomy Centre]] and the [[1 in 12 Club]] in Bradford.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.uncarved.org/music/apunk/autcent.html |title=Autonomy Centres, Riots & The Big Rammy |publisher=Uncarved.org |date=18 December 1932 |accessdate=24 April 2015}}</ref>

The second national gathering of social centres was held at the 1 in 12 Club, in January 2007.{{r|what|page=34}}

The fledgling network was profiled in 2008, in the pamphlet ''What's This Place?'' that was produced as part of the academic project Autonomous Geographies (funded by the [[ESRC]]).{{r|about}}

In November 2014, the [[Sumac Centre]] in Nottingham hosted the first weekend gathering<ref name="socialcentresgathering">{{cite web|url=http://socialcentresgathering.noblogs.org/ |title=Social Centres Gathering UK 2014 |publisher=Socialcentresgathering.noblogs.org |date=26 September 2014 |accessdate=24 April 2015}}</ref> of a relaunch of the Social Centre Network.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.veggies.org.uk/event.php?ref=1553|title=Social Centres Gathering : Sumac Centre Diary|publisher=}}</ref> The network met again in April 2015 at the Next To Nowhere Social Centre in Liverpool and became known as the "Social Centre Network of UK and Ireland".<ref name="socialcentresgathering" />

===Future plans===

A gathering of the Social Centre Network was held on the 22nd and 23rd September 2018 at GAS in Glasgow. The next gathering is due in May 2019.

There is also a plan to launch a new website for the network and to create a shared [[zine]] about the network and the spaces in it.

==Evicted social centres==
Examples of long-term squatted and now evicted projects include the [[Spike Surplus Scheme]] and the [[491 Gallery]]. Other past squatted centres in London include the [[Bank of Ideas]], [[RampART]] (Peckham),<ref>{{cite web|url=http://peckham.squat.net |title=Peckham Social Centre |publisher=Peckham.squat.net |date=18 January 2013 |accessdate=24 April 2015}}</ref> Our Bohemia,<ref>[http://ourbohemia.co.uk] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131227110340/http://ourbohemia.co.uk/|date=27 December 2013}}</ref> The Square<ref name=sq /> and Ratstar.

Other evicted centres include the Free Factory{{r|ff}} in Bristol, The Black Cat Centre<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.blackcatcentre.blogspot.co.uk// |title=Black Cat Centre |publisher=blackcatcentre.blogspot.co.uk |date= |accessdate=1 February 2016}}</ref> in Bath, Pleb's College<ref>{{cite web|url=http://plebscollege.wordpress.com/ |title=Plebs' College |publisher=Plebscollege.wordpress.com |date= |accessdate=24 April 2015}}</ref> in Oxford, Cwtch Community Centre<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/#!/CwtchCommunityCentre] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150317213745/https://www.facebook.com/#!/CwtchCommunityCentre|date=17 March 2015}}</ref> in Swansea, the Peoples Autonomous Destination (PAD)<ref>{{cite web|url=http://thepad.wordpress.com |title=The PAD social centre &#124; Peoples’ Autonomous Destination- a radical social centre for Cardiff |publisher=Thepad.wordpress.com |date= |accessdate=24 April 2015}}</ref> and Gremlin Alley<ref>{{cite web|url=http://welcometogremlinalley.wordpress.com/ |title=Gremlin Alley Social Centre &#124; Resisting eviction since 4th October |publisher=Welcometogremlinalley.wordpress.com |date= |accessdate=24 April 2015}}</ref> in [[Cardiff]], the George’s X Chalkboard in [[Glasgow]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://socialcentrestories.wordpress.com/2008/04/29/chalkboard-the-successes-and-failures-of-a-maryhill-community-tendency/ |title=Chalkboard – the successes and failures of a Maryhill community tendency &#124; |publisher=Socialcentrestories.wordpress.com |date=29 April 2008 |accessdate=24 April 2015}}</ref> Matilda<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.matilda.aktivix.org/ |title=Matilda |publisher=Matilda.aktivix.org |date= |accessdate=24 April 2015}}</ref> in [[Sheffield]], the Mill Road Social Centre{{r|mill}} in Cambridge, Sabotaj{{r|sab}} in [[Brighton]], [[Justice not crisis|Justice not Crisis]], the [[Birmingham]] social centre,{{r|bsc}} Free Milk! (Platt Chapel) in [[Manchester]] and most recently, Solidarity Space in [[Kentish Town]], north [[London]].

===Occasional centres===
Some social centres occurred in a number of times and/or locations such as 195 Mare Street, Offmarket and the Really Free School.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://reallyfreeschool.org/ |title=Really Free School |publisher=Reallyfreeschool.org |date= |accessdate=24 April 2015}}</ref>
There are groups which choose to do temporary squatted events lasting a fixed time. Such groups may exist for years, such as the House of Brag<ref>{{cite web|url=http://houseofbrag.wordpress.com/ |title=The London Queer Social Centre |publisher=Houseofbrag.wordpress.com |date= |accessdate=24 April 2015}}</ref> (London), A-Spire (Leeds), Temporary Autonomous Arts (London, Sheffield, Brighton, Bristol, Manchester, Edinburgh, Cardiff), Anarchist Teapot (Brighton), Wildcats (Brighton) or the OKasional Cafe<ref>{{cite web|url=http://okcafe.wordpress.com/ |title=OK Cafe Manchester &#124; Manchester's OKasional social centre |publisher=Okcafe.wordpress.com |date= |accessdate=24 April 2015}}</ref> (Manchester).

==Criticism==
There has been debate on whether legal spaces are a useful anti-capitalist tactic, or not.<ref name=bri2 />

Paul Chatterton and Stuart Hodkinson view social centres as part of the "broader 'autonomous movement,'" playing an "important role in the re-thinking and re-making 'citizenship' by bringing people together in spaces whose very reason for existence is to question and confront the rampant individualism of everyday life."<ref>{{cite journal |author1=Hodkinson, S. |author2=Chatterton, P. |lastauthoramp=yes |year=2006 |title=‘Autonomy in the city? Reflections on the social centres movement in the UK’ |journal=City |volume=10 |issue=3 |pages=305–315 |doi= 10.1080/13604810600982222}}</ref>
