A quote from Georgie (Together UK), taken from our impact stories:
“When we found the Albany it felt like a perfect match. We rent an office as a home for our team but also use community rooms like the Red Room for our Yoga Group. The Albany feels like a real community hub. It models the kind of connection we want people to associate with us too.”
