The History of Level
Founded in 1988 by Peter Shelton, Level started life as a charity called First Movement creating art projects for people with learning disabilities. Peter was named in the Independent on Sunday’s Happy List for the impact he had on the happiness of our community.
The charity went from strength to strength, and in 2008 opened a modern, accessible building in Rowsley. Funded by Arts Council England, the building was designed by Clash Architects and received a RIBA Award for excellence. When the building opened, the organisation re-launched as Level Centre.
