Utilizing empty UK buildings as community hubs for climate action, hosting events and webinars, saving building owners on business rates as a registered charity.
What do we do?
Climate Emergency Centers repurpose empty buildings for the benefit of local community to organise, meet in person, work on climate solutions.
Where are you based?
Currently we are based in the UK and we have access to around 20 buildings around the country.
See the map: https://climateemergencycentre.co.uk/cec-uk-network-2/
What's the secret of getting buildings for free?
We are a registered charity that gets discount on "business rates" that the owner of a building needs to pay no matter the occupancy (this is to incentivise use of the buildings). We are saving them money.
