Who is ASTOP &
what do we do?
ASTOP partners with landlords to significantly reduce their costs and give charities rent-free temporary retail, office and other space in the UK, through ethically commercial means. Occupied premises are better maintained and easier to relet. Helping good causes supports local communities, offers excellent PR and ESG/CSR opportunities and keeps local councils firmly onboard. ASTOP has an unrivalled network across the UK allowing us to offer tailor made ethical solutions for any type of vacant commercial site. Since 2009 our team has helped transform over 500 empty properties, saving more than £15m in dilapidation, vandalism, squatting, social, PR, media and other costs often associated with unused premises.

Everybody wins!
We’ve helped forge highly successful alliances between landlords and their agents with local councils, local businesses and local communities for more than a decade. Time and again we demonstrate that supporting good causes is good for business. Everybody wins and in the current economic climate, this has never been more important. We connect landlords, agents and developers with good causes with various levels of funding across the UK. Working closely with Temporary Use Aid and Rainbow Rising, Food Banks and the Global Educational Trust, no other organisation has the scope or the scale of our ethical operational network. READ MORE
Working with #TemporaryUseAid to create #RainbowRising and repurpose closed department stores like #Debenhams has been one of our greatest achievements!
