The Ethical Property Foundation’s Charity Property Matters Survey 2022 is revealing important trends that affect charities across the UK. Early findings suggest that:
-
24% of charities do not have an EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) for their premises.
-
51% are unsure if they have an EPC at all – a significant compliance risk as energy efficiency rules tighten.
-
28% have faced one-off costs adapting their property for COVID-safe use.
-
18% report increased ongoing running costs due to COVID safety requirements.
-
35% say most staff now work in a hybrid model, balancing office and remote working.
-
17% report most staff work fully remotely.
These findings highlight how crucial property management is to charity resilience. Energy efficiency compliance, safe workplace adaptations, and future-proofed lease decisions are all essential.
