Flexible charity space opportunity

Submitted by Duncan Cordy on

Community Space Ltd have shared information on a potential opportunity for charity occupiers to take space in Hammersmith, London, comprising three floors of office / community space.

The space may be available for up to two years due to future redevelopment plans, so this could suit a charity, community organisation, social enterprise, CIC, faith-based organisation, or a collaboration between several charities who may not need or be able to justify taking the whole building individually.

Submitted by Duncan Cordy on

New research published by Charity Excellence has given insight into the threats and challenges facing small charities across the UK, and how infrastructure organisations have become more important than ever.

Significant growth in small charities over the last 20 years means that Local Infrastructure Organisations (LIOS) such as KCSC and the Volunteer Centre Kensington and Chelsea, who support those small charities, are more in demand than ever, but financial insecurity amongst other issues means that LIOs are closing at an alarming rate.
