**Organisations committed to social change are invited to enter a competition to
win office space for a year in Bristol.**

Ethical Property, which owns and manages nineteen centres across nine UK cities,
including three in Bristol, is offering the opportunity for purpose and cause related
start-ups at Streamline at Paintworks.

The successful organisation will be given a place in ‘Share space’ an open plan 
shared workspace within Streamline. It has been designed to create a home-from-home
for freelancers and small groups that want to be part of collaborative workspaces,
and communal amenities.

The ‘Care to Share’ initiative will provide one lucky organisation with free workspace
for up to two people for one year and a second prize of a free workspace for one
or two people for three months. The chosen organisations will also be given access
to Ethical Property’s monthly networking, webinar and events series called ‘Exchangers’.

The winners’ workspaces are located in the Streamline Share space, an open plan 
space housing a variety of ethical organisations. The building also has a range 
of enclosed office spaces, ranging from 4-person to 60-person capacity and 14 square
meters to 290 square metres.

Sarah Campbell, Ethical Property’s regional manager South West and Wales explained:

> “We know that the past two years have been incredibly tough for many, with organisations
> facing financial challenges that have forced them out of workspaces, and into 
> working disparately.
>  
> “Bristol is brimming with vibrant and forward-thinking organisations; social enterprises,
> changemakers and businesses with real purpose. We want to give these people a 
> chance to enhance their working environment with one that inspires creative thinking.
> We also understand that there are still barriers that exist to those with disabilities,
> and our whole ethos is one of inclusivity; reflected in the accessible design 
> of all our sites.”

Two Bristol-based organisations committed to social change have won the main and
runner-up prizes for Ethical Property’s competition for a desk space at their Art
Deco-inspired building based in Paintworks on Bath Road.

Bristol-based charity, the West of England Centre for Inclusive Living (WECIL) won
first prize, based on its entry which detailed its user-led approach to support 
and services for disabled people of all ages.

Second prize, a three-month tenure at the building, was scooped by Emily Hardaker
of the Women’s Empowerment Movement, a personal training and exercise support operation
to offer women confidence to approach exercise.

The winners’ desk spaces will be in Share Bristol based at Streamline, an open plan
space housing a variety of ethical organisations. The building also has a range 
of enclosed office spaces, ranging from 4 person to 60-person capacity and 14 square
meters to 290 square meters to accommodate ‘changemaker’ organisations of all sizes.
