**European animal welfare charity [Four Paws UK](http://www.fourpaws.org.uk) has
become the 100th organisation to rent office space in the CAN Mezzanine, the social
enterprise that provides affordable office space to the third sector.**

CAN Mezzanine runs two sites in Central London which have saved its clients more
than £2.2 million last year, according to independent social impact research.

Marie-Claire Macintosh, Four Paws Head of Programmes, said: “We were struck by the
welcoming atmosphere rather than the exploitative, corporate and unfeeling offices
we had visited before. We were encouraged that we would be surrounded by other NGOs
rather than corporate organisations”.

“Affordability and location are the primary reasons why our customers come to CAN
Mezzanine,” said Peter Murray of CAN Mezzanine. “We run quality buildings with business
efficiency, passing on as many benefits to our customers as possible. But being 
a charity ourselves, we understand the needs of our customers and can offer something
more tailored”.

Plans are underway to open a third site in north London later in the year and a 
feasibility study is being undertaken for a CAN Mezzanine in east Croydon.
