Fryshuset was established in 1984 in a closed down cold store. The original idea was to create a meeting place for basketball and rock music enthusiasts, but the social commitment soon grew from this.

Today Fryshuset comprises 24,000 square metres, runs an upper secondary school with 1000 students as well as some 30 programmes - one being a big skateboard project. There are some 15,000 regular users, and as many visitors a month to other
one-off events. Fryshuset employs 357 people; 130 in the school and 150 in “Easy Street”. In 2006 the turnover was 180 million Swedish crowns (€ 19.2 million) out of which 16.6 million Swedish crowns was municipal subsidies.

Since 2006 Easy Street has also been operating in Gothenburg and Malmö. Fryshuset also works with honour related violence, children of psychologically ill parents, gang-members seeking a way out, single mothers and much more.

For more information on the ideas behind Fryshuset, read the book ”Generationsklyftan hotar demokratin” (The threat to democracy from the generation gap) by Anders Carlberg.
