Positively
When HIV peer support charity Positively UK needed to relocate recently, they were daunted by the challenge of finding premises that met all of their requirements.
Fortunately Garry Brough, the charity’s interim CEO, found St Mark’s Studios in
Islington, and Needspace? was able to help when they were ready to make their move.
“St Mark’s Studios was the very first place we saw, back in late summer last year. However, our lease ran until April of this year so our hands were tied; we had to keep our optionsopen and keep looking. Nothing we saw was anywhere near such a good fit for us – including
some extremely glossy, high-spec brand new offices we were offered. Their rate for the first
two years, discounted by 50%, was the same price as Needspace? but the environment would have created a false impression for us as a grass roots charity, and we could never have justified the full price once it leapt up.
Our biggest challenge as a charity is being here long term for people with HIV who, with advances in treatment, can expect to lead long and fulfilling lives. Spending our funding wisely – getting the best value to deliver what the people we support need – is of utmost importance to us, and we’re satisfied that our move to St Mark’s Studio’s has helped us to achieve that.”
