What do they need help with?
St Christopher’s Fellowship is looking to progress a change of use application for its head office building in Putney, London. The organisation has been marketing the property for over a year but has not received viable offers in its current use. As a result, it is now seeking to explore conversion to residential use to increase the asset’s value.
Initial advice from a planning consultant has confirmed that a successful application will require a range of specialist technical inputs. St Christopher’s Fellowship is therefore seeking pro bono support from property professionals to help prepare the necessary reports and documentation.
Support is sought to:
- Develop architectural drawings and plans to support a residential conversion. There are existing historic drawings, of some residential dwellings within the same building, that essentially need replicating.
The property is located in Putney, London, and currently operates as the organisation’s head office. Unlocking the value of this site will enable St Christopher’s Fellowship to reinvest in its core mission—supporting vulnerable children and young people through care, accommodation and fostering services.
This is an opportunity to contribute specialist expertise to a project that will directly strengthen the organisation’s long-term sustainability and impact.
Timeline
Support is ideally required by May 2026.
