Mencap, whose main headquarters are based in Peterborough, has owned the Centre of Engagement at 123 Golden Lane since 1978, but has made the decision to relocate operations in London to a site more in line with their requirements for 2023 and beyond.
“Like many organisations, our offices are used differently and less frequently since the pandemic, with many colleagues choosing to take advantage of remote working. This means we don’t require the size of office space that we currently own.
“As a charity, it is crucial that we continually scrutinise the cost effectiveness of all of our operations and activities, so we have taken the decision to sell 123 Golden Lane and relocate to premises that are more in line with our requirements.
“We have consulted with colleagues across the organisation to ensure that the new space is inclusive, accessible
Accessible means something is easy for people to use or join in with. For example: Accessible writing means the writing is easy to read and understand. , and meets the needs of our diverse workforce.
We’re really excited to move to a smaller, more modern and fit-for-purpose space, that allows for collaboration between colleagues, improved accessibility and accommodates hybrid ways of working.”
From Monday 6th November, Mencap’s London based office will be in East One, Commercial Street, Spitalfields.
