Our Centres
Ethical Property moved to Bath in November 2008, to take on the
lease of Green Park Station: we now also manage the Friends Meeting
House. Bath and Somerset is home to a number of social change
organisations throughout the city, its market towns and rural
areas.
Brighton has long been a hub of social change in the UK and many
charities and social businesses have found their feet in this
beachside city.
The home of the Soil Association, Sustrans and many other groups,
Bristol has always been at the heart of the UK social change
movement.
The Scottish capital has one of the strongest economies in the UK,
and is home to many of Scotland’s nationwide charities, NGOs
and social enterprises. Edinburgh is also home to the
Scottish arms of many international organisations.
Traditionally a regional administrative centre, and market centre
of the local Yorkshire wool trade, Leeds is now one of the
UK’s leading financial and legal centres outside of
London.
The UK has a strong culture of encouraging charity and working
toward social change. As the nation’s capital, London
has long been the centre of a lot of this activity.
Known as England’s “second city”, Manchester has
seen a lot of change in the last decade.
This University town is a real centre for innovation, particularly
in the area of the environmental sciences, and the city that Oxfam
calls home has always been an incubator for new ideas and
organisations.
Sheffield has seen a lot of change since the decline of the coal
and steel industries in the latter half of the 20th century.
Mass job losses and population decline in the area led to huge
injections of funds aimed at increasing new industry and boosting
the city’s economy.
