FMG Project

The FMG Project is a Brighton-based community project funded by the Friday Media Group Foundation. In 2021, The Foundation acquired and renovated the facility, formerly known as ‘The Basement’, in the heart of Brighton’s famous North Laine. Our kick-off project is a gym facility that will host our new academy programme, whilst also supporting local sports clubs and other educational groups and charities. The venue also has other facilities such as business offices and space for events, meet ups and more! Friday Media Group is a Sussex-based digital publishing business, born off the back of the success of The Friday-Ad newspaper. The Kidger family started the business back in 1975 and established the Foundation to put something back into the community from which it was born. The family are passionate about fitness, education and local business- hence the creation of The FMG Project.
