For the benefit of the Community.
It goes without saying that TAO would not
succeed in their work without the involvement of the Community.
It provides artists and educators who occupy space, organise
exhibitions, events, classes and workshops, and brings us
volunteers, concerned members who wish to change the presnt
situation that has allowed dereliction to escalate.
TAO hopes that people who participate and
help, undestand the problems we are trying to overcome and
the benefits from the work we undertake. Our service is directed
to the wider community, for we believe our actions and the
actions of our volunteers can serve to improve this society.
TAO, to date, work independently, without
funding, and therefore are not a drain on public funding.
We rely on the skills and ingenuity of those people that help,
their goodwill and concerned nature. In
return we offer to share skills and network for the benefit
of those involved, teaching where necessary. We offer volunteers
to recognise their own needs and work with them to see if
TAO can deliver them. We seek to employ capable persons in
full-time roles and seek eways to afford them. Often volunteers
are unemployed seeking work with few options available. Often
they lack direction and inspiration and we find our projects
and our support can help.
TAO provides . .

A work ethic for the benefit of the Environment.
For decades cities have regenerated with the arts at the centre. Artists take advantage of run-down areas,
and the natural process of an increased footfall, the regeneration of dereliction, and the artistic attractions from within,
turn around the neighbourhood and improve it's image.

Property solutions for the benefit of landlords, building owners, and property developers.
The current economic state is a worry to landlords who have ownership of properties beyond their best.
Often situated in off the trendy track places, beyond a state of good repair, unwanted, and a drain on business finances -
costing more to remain derelict than their worth.
