Oi, space ache! Welcome to meanwhile...
Meanwhile Space CIC are experts on meanwhile uses for empty spaces.
We have solutions, we can deliver them.
‘Meanwhile use’ is the temporary use of vacant buildings or land for a socially beneficial purpose until such a time that they can be brought back into commercial use again. It makes practical use of the ‘pauses’ in property processes, giving the space over to uses that can contribute to quality of life and better places whilst the search for a commercial use is ongoing.
Empty spaces are a blight to communities, a financial drain to owners and stimulate wider civic problems. To us they are an opportunity.
If you have a property, want access to a property or have a wider civic concern about vacant property, we can help. Find out how on our services page, about us on our info page, or connect with the meanwhile community on the forum.
