About Us
Meanwhile Space CIC is the pioneering social enterprise at the forefront of Meanwhile uses, creating vibrant communities by bringing temporarily redundant space into productive use.
Meanwhile Space unlocks underused space for the benefit of community cohesion, place-making and enterprise. This is typified by finding wasted space, transforming unloved visible, interesting, dilapidated, difficult buildings, into something useful.
People starting out struggle to find space to start and grow their creative or social enterprise. Meanwhile Space brings vacant assets into use for affordable and easy access space for startup enterprises, communities, and better places.
In 2023 Meanwhile Space had company turnover of £1.2m and is currently operating a total of 6000m2, with 100 tenants, in 9 projects. Over 85% of the tenants in our projects live in the local area, and we have worked with 14 London Boroughs, primarily in outer London.
As part of our forward-thinking and creative organisation, our team thrives through a culture of independence, trust and agility. We are design-led risk takers who love to adapt & move fast and use our experience and expertise to bring ideas to life - and we are all driven by our passion for the work we do to enhance and help the communities around us.
