About the Organisation

Toynbee Hall – Working with communities in the East End since 1884 

Toynbee Hall is a 140-year-old charity working across East London and beyond to address poverty and exclusion. The charity achieves this through the provision of advice and community support, as well as through peer research aimed at shifting power to those with lived experience of the issues.  

When Toynbee Hall first opened its doors in 1884, the need for help and support in the area outside those doors was greater than almost anywhere else in the UK. 140 years later, and the community in which we work remains one of the most unequal in the UK.  

The core mission of Toynbee Hall’s work: supporting those on the frontline of inequality and ensuring they have the tools and voice to help shape a fairer future. 

Request details:

Toynbee Hall has a strategic plan for 2023-26 that outlines its goal of working towards a system that truly supports people’s rights and dignity, while providing them with the opportunity to thrive.  

However, in order to achieve these objectives, the organization recognizes the need to build a sustainable financial model. To move forward, the Trustees are reviewing the use of their assets and considering potential disposals.  

These are difficult and significant decisions, but the organization understands that navigating the turbulent times they are in, along with many other individuals and charities, requires making some brave and challenging choices. 

Therefore Toynbee Hall is seeking pro bono support with the following areas: 

  1. An initial valuation of their property assets to help the Board consider their next steps. 
  1. Advice to guide the decision-making process, such as selecting appropriate agents and advisors to support any potential disposals. 
  1. A property advisor to act as a sounding board for the SLT and CEO at Toynbee Hall.
