Although the building became one of the first cultural venues in the country to be listed as an Asset of Community Value, after more than 10 years of occupancy Stour Trust lost it due to rent hikes and development plans. They spent 5 years looking for a long-term solution. Eventually they made an agreement with a housing developer operating in Hackney Wick and Fish Island for Stour Trust to be their Section 106 partner, and agreed a 999-year peppercorn (rent-free) lease, double the size of their original space, in a new development. Due to be completed in 2027, this will be a flourishing community and cultural hub, responding to the needs of those most impacted by gentrification, particularly Black and Global Majority communities.

At the heart of this shining example of community-led regeneration stands Dr. Jess Steele, OBE, community activist and founder of Heart of Hastings Community Land Trust. Jess played a key role alongside local residents and social entrepreneurs to get 9,000 square metres into the hands of the local community, creating a whole ecosystem that serves local needs and has brought £28 million in funding to Hastings. How can others start something like this in their neighbourhood? What’s the secret sauce for community leaders to get inside underutilised buildings and do great things with them? In our conversation, Jess dives into the challenges, learnings and tactics behind effective property-focused community organising. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6278d6bf3ad21c07ac3e0f2b/079c2980-d463-412b-b34d-b32b8f741b28/5+pillars.png News -

Bex had found that one of the biggest barriers to community enterprises starting and sustaining was the lack of access to affordable, secure and long-term property. She found that asset owners and councils were struggling to find amazing people and ideas to activate buildings for local benefit. So she brought us together to kickstart the conversation. Now she leads on recruiting, rallying and fundraising, taking an entrepreneurial approach with the big ambition in mind.

Start a Local Property Partnership Local Property Partnerships are a tried-and-tested process to unlock town centre buildings for amazing ideas. Each Partnership is made up of a local council, community leaders and asset owners. You work together to transform town centres for long-term local benefit. Platform Places convenes, builds networks and helps secure funds according to need. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6278d6bf3ad21c07ac3e0f2b/0bec5373-19df-4eae-867c-37fc882fb9a4/Constellation_tr.jpg Local Property Partnerships - How it works Most Local Property Partnerships aim to unlock affordable, secure spaces for local community businesses — and to reshape the property system long term. Through our programme, we help you: Map underused local assets and develop a vision for your town centre Lease or purchase buildings and activate them for local benefit – first 1, then 5, then 25 and beyond Match more asset owners with brilliant local entrepreneurs Ensure viable business models, with profits reinvested locally Change the property culture: the Partnership builds a thriving town centre for local benefit, where long-term vacant and overpriced property is no longer acceptable. Our cohort is full at the moment (follow their stories here), but you can get started without Platform Places. This approach is open-source and part of a wider movement. Discover the key ingredients of a Local Property Partnership and have a go yourself. https://www.platformplaces.com/council daily 0.75 2023-03-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6278d6bf3ad21c07ac3e0f2b/1662986269811-I7R94ZQEQ4E9T5HDVJEF/HighStreetsTaskForce.jpg Council https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6278d6bf3ad21c07ac3e0f2b/1663004767599-69VJW0O9TC44NGHPNYJQ/PTC_primary_RGB.jpg Council https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6278d6bf3ad21c07ac3e0f2b/1662981904671-YKMH9M8A38Q14T25JVLE/BPF_logo_CMYK_large+WITH+NAME.png Council https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6278d6bf3ad21c07ac3e0f2b/30d9ecca-5f3b-4ad3-90b3-0aef68bc5963/New+Local.jpg Council https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6278d6bf3ad21c07ac3e0f2b/3493186c-152f-4058-8463-a6736681cbe7/Radix.jpg Council https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6278d6bf3ad21c07ac3e0f2b/1661982094444-5HR872ADPRF6OLFBVFQW/Shoosmiths+logo.jpg Council https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6278d6bf3ad21c07ac3e0f2b/bdd41660-20da-494c-84ea-8acf58fb06e4/The+Hub%2C+No+49.png Council -

What is the Partnership? The Wandsworth Town Property Partnership is a new initiative to unlock our high street buildings for brilliant local ideas, and for community use or ownership. Our goal is to bring people together (the community, local businesses, asset owners, council and funders) to: Map underused buildings; Develop a vision for how we might use them for local benefit; Start turning that vision into reality, one building at a time. https://www.platformplaces.com/helena-cicmil-bio daily 0.75 2025-03-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6278d6bf3ad21c07ac3e0f2b/4c00807b-1b71-4ed2-bae1-e0803f825645/Helena_56-1000x1308.jpg Helena Cicmil Bio Helena is a communications specialist for purpose-driven organisations.

What is the Partnership? The Bedminster Property Partnership is a new initiative to unlock our high street buildings for brilliant local ideas, and for community use or ownership. Our goal is to bring people together (the community, local businesses, asset owners, council and funders) to: understand who owns the properties on and around East Street; build relationships and trust between community business leaders, the council, asset owners and other local actors; start to acquire freeholds & leaseholds of multiple ‘anchor’ buildings – to activate them for long-term local benefit. We expect this to result in an increase in: affordable goods and services aligned with local needs; small businesses and social enterprises; jobs and opportunities; social infrastructure and community hubs. We hope to set a new tone for how properties are owned, managed and used in and around East Street – so that over time it becomes less culturally acceptable to have long-term overpriced, vacant or neglected properties. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6278d6bf3ad21c07ac3e0f2b/6ec18048-c518-4105-a1c4-be3f542e3564/east-street-BID.jpg

multiple buildings into community use and ownership, for neighbourhood transformation. The National Lottery Community Fund is supporting Platform Places and partners with almost £2.5 million over three years — made possible by National Lottery players. The funding is being used to enable communities to come together and secure long-term spaces for the activities and services that they need the most. https://www.platformplaces.com/madeleine-blyth-bio daily 0.75 2025-03-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6278d6bf3ad21c07ac3e0f2b/34787310-b330-4364-a909-6144bc23882a/image+%288%29.png Madeleine Blyth Bio Madeleine is the Programme Lead for Local Property Partnerships at Platform Places.

Previously, Madeleine worked in CSR, co-founded an early-stage venture fund, and served as Programme Manager at Techstars, a leading startup accelerator. She has an academic background in sustainable urban design, anthropology and sustainable development. She’s also into permaculture, making things and was a long-term Director of a land-use charity in Bhutan.

Funders and investors Philanthropists, investors and funders (whether institutional, family offices, private or public) can support in multiple ways, mobilising funds for: Quick-to-access capital funds to allow community asset developers to move as fast as the commercial market. This means: Ambitious grants to acquire, retrofit and refurbish at least their first asset (subsequent assets can then be funded with blended finance, including low-interest loans enabled by balance sheet security). Patient money, e.g. loan finance that’s longer term, flexible, unrestricted, with larger pay back periods and low interest, so the entire loan timeframe doesn’t have to be spent fundraising to pay it back, at the expense of impact-generating work. Long-term revenue funding as standard, so local people can get organised, for example for core salaries to do partnership development, creative ideas testing, business planning and feasibility studies. Pooling wealth and power to co-govern fund distribution with those doing this work (see the Mycelial Network’s missions). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6278d6bf3ad21c07ac3e0f2b/ffe5d5df-5bb8-4aa4-9fe4-ef0755f1ca13/Persona+7+-+The+Local+Incubator-w1000.jpg 6 Months Local Property Partnerships Highlights and Learnings - 2. Councils and local authorities Many councils are recognising the impact of — and are working to enable — community-powered spaces. For example, by: Backing the Local Property Partnerships approach as core to regeneration. Sharing or transferring assets into community stewardship. Recognising community businesses and innovators as long-term partners, not short-term grantees. Embedding community assets into funding bids, like Wirral Borough Council have done. Brokering relationships with agents and landlords. This needs to be widespread and normalised – with national policies that support communities to unlock doors and own assets, adopting the We’re Right Here campaign’s asks on community power. Hear from Deputy Leader of Wandsworth Council, Kemi Akinola (click to expand video): https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6278d6bf3ad21c07ac3e0f2b/6e78d14a-c0c1-4ddc-b301-861843b9f99c/Persona+8+-+The+Large+Developers-w1000.jpg 6 Months Local Property Partnerships Highlights and Learnings - 3. Private asset owners and developers In small pockets, the culture is slowly beginning to shift towards sharing assets for collective benefit. What if more asset owners followed in the footsteps of the likes of Legal & General, who offered rent and rates-free shops for ten local businesses in Poole? Or the developer gifting the Migration Museum a 60-year home, rent-free, after years of precarity and risk in the London property market? For example: Commit to lease or sell a percentage of assets at below-market rates where social value is clear, to benefit from tax reliefs and ESG case studies. Partner with local community convenors who deeply understand their place, to co-design asset use and stewardship. This counts for reputation, council relationships and planning applications. Review internal structures to better support asset-based philanthropy and partnerships alongside commercial needs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6278d6bf3ad21c07ac3e0f2b/0077bebe-c38a-41b3-90eb-6c279b8c9b35/Shall+we+dance_tr.jpg 6 Months Local Property Partnerships Highlights and Learnings - 4. More partnership programmes of this kind The Local Property Partnerships pilot isn’t a top-down programme. It’s co-designed and peer-led. The funding is patient, flexible and long-term (thanks to the National Lottery Community Fund). The five local partners have described it as “game-changing” — giving them “room to exhale”, think long-term, and act at the scale their neighbourhoods need. Instead of spending all of their energy chasing short-term, restrictive grants, they’re building deep long-lasting partnerships to unlock buildings and grow community power. Every community asset developer should have access to this kind of support — rooted in place, yet connected through a powerful, mutually-supportive national network. https://www.platformplaces.com/inspiration/braunstone daily 0.75 2025-11-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg b inspired, Braunstone https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg b inspired, Braunstone https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg b inspired, Braunstone https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847767761-J2M1HI20BXRQ9XCR0HUD/Large+JPG-Aro+Ha_0387.jpg b inspired, Braunstone https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6278d6bf3ad21c07ac3e0f2b/ef0dc501-c3c2-460e-b07c-31302c4d4765/cover+image.png b inspired, Braunstone -
