Advertise your space

Do you have a meeting space, consulting and therapy rooms or desk space? Hiring out space can be a useful way of generating some extra income for your organisation, it is also a great way to support your sister organisations.

Asset Transfer

Many local authorities are reviewing their property portfolios and looking for opportunities to transfer their assets to community and voluntary organisations. Asset Transfer can be of great mutual benefit to Councils and the Voluntary Sector but it can be a complex process and carries some serious risks. Groups considering asset transfer need to do plenty of research and preparatory work before undertaking an Asset Transfer. The DTA’s Asset Transfer Unit offer advice, support and resources for groups thinking of undertaking an Asset Transfer. 

Property management

The Ethical Property Foundation offer independent, ethical advice and training to help charities and voluntary groups rent, buy, let or manage their property. Support available includes training and an online and telephone advice service.
