In 2009, CADS founder Steve Rimmer took on three studio spaces in Kelham Island in order to house equipment for his music promotions company. He soon realised that the spaces he had were slightly too big for him so he sought out other artists to take on two of the studios. Before long more people started to contact Steve enquiring about studio spaces; so much so that he decided to set up a studio complex in Shalesmoor, and so CADS was born!
Over the next few years CADS grew from taking on their first entire building (CADS Works) with 10 studios to providing over 86 studios across 6 buildings around Sheffield. As well as this, the main space on Smithfield became synonymous with Sheffieldโs underground party scene with The Night Kitchen event space and its predecessor Dirty Little Secret earning acclaim both within the city and even in the national press, bringing some of the best artists from the UK and around the world to what was previously a quiet corner of Sheffield.
In 2013 CADS gained charitable status with its mission to provide affordable space to people regardless of their social or economic circumstances, however established they may be in their chosen field.
The activities of the charity have developed beyond the provision of affordable space to include programmes of support for various groups facing disadvantage. One such programme "Space Cadets" gives use of a studio free of charge for 6 weeks at a time to artists of limited financial means to pursue an idea or project.
