Meanwhile says it finds wasted space, transforming unloved, dilapidated, difficult buildings, into something useful. That benefits community cohesion and enterprise.

The main aim is to encourage entrepreneurship by reducing the financial risks people in often neglected areas might face. This helps increases the diversity of business and services in an area, and the involvement of communities.​​

Meanwhile currently has about 10 projects in London and several other schemes around the country.  It also offers business support. At the moment that is focused on online Zoom sessions about business plans and finances because of the pandemic. “In better times we offer lots of networking events, says Charlotte.
