Why We’re Celebrating Working Together
Happy (Early) Co-working Day! It might seem a little unusual to celebrate something like Co-working Day, but when you stop and think about just how much of our lives we spend at work, it starts to make perfect sense.
At Ethical Property, we don’t just provide incredible workspaces – we see, every day, how powerful co-working can be. As Nature magazine once said, “Human beings are a social species that relies on cooperation to survive and thrive.” We couldn’t agree more. Whether you're working in-person full time or navigating a hybrid schedule, co-working is still just as important – if not more so – than ever before.
Why Co-working Matters
Our spaces are designed to bring people together – to foster collaboration, spark ideas, and support a real sense of community. From our Share spaces in Bristol and London, where you get your own dedicated desk and a welcoming bunch of fellow co-workers, to full office spaces for teams of like-minded organisations – we understand that "one size fits all" doesn’t work when it comes to people. We’ve seen the positive impact of co-working up close: freelancers who discover a sense of belonging, partnerships that begin at the coffee machine, and innovative ideas born from casual conversations in shared spaces. It's clear – we really are better off together.
Our Top 5 Co-working Tips
Want to make the most of your co-working experience? Here are our five essential tips for getting it right:
- Meeting Spaces Matter
Ensure you have access to well-equipped meeting rooms with strong connectivity – and ideally, without any extra charges. These spaces are vital for both planned discussions and spontaneous collaboration.
- Breakout Zones for Breakthroughs
Informal spaces are invaluable. Whether it’s stepping away from your desk, catching up with a colleague, or having a chat with someone new, breakout spaces often spark ideas and forge unexpected partnerships.
- Don’t Forget the Outdoors
Access to outdoor space can do wonders for wellbeing. Many of our centres feature beautiful outdoor areas – some even with gardening clubs. It’s a great way to unwind, reflect, and connect with fellow co-workers.
- The Power of the Kettle
There’s magic in the shared kitchen. Whether it's chatting over tea or diving into a conversation about current events, these everyday moments can lead to new connections and insights.
- Events with Purpose
We’re not big fans of forced fun – but we do believe in events that have meaning. Whether it's a skills workshop, a thought-provoking talk, or a relaxed meet-up, the right events can help you learn, grow, and connect with your community. (Of course, the local pub is always there if you prefer a pool table and pint!)
Come Take a Look
In previous years, Co-working Day has been a time when co-working spaces host open door events – but as this year it falls on a weekend, we know that’s not always convenient.
So, we’re doing things a little differently. Whether you’re actively looking for a new co-working space, or just curious to see what it’s all about, we’d love to show you around – at a time that suits you.
Booking a viewing is simple – just head to our website or give our friendly team a call on 0330 016 3436. We like to think of them as workspace matchmakers – helping you find the right place, in the right location, to do your best work.
