Unlock Spaces.
Transform Lives.

We are building a platform to connect charities, social entrepreneurs and community organisations with commercial property owners to bring idle spaces to life.

Meanwhile Use

Meanwhile Use offers the opportunity to connect owners of temporarily vacant spaces with charities, community organisations, homelessness services, and social entrepreneurs so empty spaces can be activated for social good.

Asset Owners – Help create safe spaces for people in need, foster strong partnerships and team engagement, while offsetting holding costs, safeguarding your asset and showcasing meaningful, measurable CSR.

Charities and Social Enterprises – Unlock affordable spaces, expand program delivery, and create new partnerships.

Government – Activate vacant assets, deliver community benefit, reduce the social and economic costs of inactivity, and demonstrate urban renewal.

Every Space Has Potential

Hundreds of Meanwhile Use projects are already operational in Australia, and around the world.
