Manzil Spaces

Image description

We’re proud to continue Manzil Spaces, a community-powered initiative by The Community Foundation that transforms empty commercial properties into temporary hubs for charities and non-profits.



The programme aims to bring unused buildings back to life by creating short-term spaces that serve a genuine social purpose.



This unique service connects landlords with trusted charitable organisations in need of temporary space for office work, training, administration, creative arts, social enterprise, or community support. It provides landlords with a secure, zero-cost way to make meaningful use of their vacant properties without long-term commitments or added risk.



With over a decade of experience, The Community Foundation works in partnership with landlords, agents, councils, and grassroots organisations to manage each space responsibly. Whether you’re a landlord with an empty unit or a charity seeking space, Manzil Spaces offers a simple, effective solution that benefits the whole community.
