Meanwhile Use Matchmaking

Make meaningful connections that create social impact.

The Meanwhile Use Platform is being developed to connect owners of temporarily vacant spaces with charities, social entrepreneurs, community organisations and homelessness services.

We are currently seeking project participants and supporters to help develop a matching platform, as well as tools, and resources to accelerate the adoption of Meanwhile Use in Australia.
