London property professionals to provide free advice to charities
Howard Lake | 2 May 2006 | News
Registered charities will be able to get free property and construction consultancy with the launch of a new scheme aimed at encouraging and facilitating corporate social responsibility amongst surveyors, architects, engineers and other property related consultants.
Property Advice for London (PAL) will provide a match-making service for London-based charities to access specialist property expertise from established providers on everything from refurbishments and leasing to relocation and service charges.
The scheme, sponsored by Barclays Bank, will be run by CIC London (Construction Industry Council) and RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors). These organisations will ensure that charity clients are matched with companies with the right experience, expertise and resources to provide answers to often complex property questions.
