Weare336

What Weare336 does

Weare336 (operating name of Lambeth Accord, registered charity #289069 and company limited by guarantee #1798931) is a UK social enterprise that operates London's largest dedicated Disability Hub from a single site at 336 Brixton Road, London SW9 7AA. Founded in 1984 as Lambeth Accord and rebranded as "We are 336" in 2017, the organisation provides accessible, affordable office space to disability and carers' charities, currently housing 17+ such organisations on long-term licences, alongside a conference facility with capacity for up to 200 delegates used by the broader disability sector. Its service is built entirely on physical real estate and accessibility infrastructure — there is no proprietary software, data platform, or technology layer underpinning the offering.

Revenue is generated through three streams: (i) licence/occupancy fees from the tenant charities, typically at affordable or, in the case of the Seedbed programme, peppercorn rates; (ii) conference and event hire of the central facilities; and (iii) donations and fundraising. The entity describes itself as self-financing and has historically funded operations from operating surplus, but is currently running its first major fundraising campaign — "Transforming 336" — to refurbish and expand the building, alongside a recent sustainability programme (replacement of gas boilers with energy-efficient alternatives in 2022) and the Seedbed initiative aimed at onboarding early-stage disability charities.

Weare336 is not a venture-backed or PE-eligible operating business in the conventional sense: it is a small, single-site registered charity with no external equity rounds, no software revenue, and growth dependent on charitable fundraising rather than commercial capital. The Transforming 336 campaign and Seedbed programme represent the most material forward-looking strategic activity, but their scope and pace remain contingent on donor support.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights3 records

Broad incumbents

• RNIB (Royal National Institute of Blind People): Large UK disability charity with its own accessible premises, comparable service ethos (independent living support, advice, advocacy). Directly relevant as a benchmark for charity-scale disability service delivery and accessible estate management.
• Scope (the disability equality charity): Major UK disability charity providing advice, employment support, and housing/benefits guidance. Comparable to Weare336's tenant organisations (e.g., DASL) and to its model of delivering multiple disability services from dedicated premises.
• Mind: Major UK mental-health charity operating a national hub-and-network estate. Comparable to Weare336 as a major UK health/disability charity delivering services from dedicated, mixed-use accessible premises (and relevant because Weare336 hosts mental-health charities such as Block 336).
• Sense (for deafblind people): Large UK disability charity operating specialist services, accessible residential settings, and hub facilities. Comparable in mission (disability support) and in operating accessible physical infrastructure.

Direct peers

• Disability Rights UK: National UK disability-led organisation providing advice, welfare rights training, and policy advocacy — directly comparable to several Weare336 tenants and to Weare336's own Disability Hub/One Stop Information Shop function.
• Action on Disability: UK disability social enterprise offering employment support, independent living services and accessible facilities. Closely comparable operating model (disability-focused social enterprise providing services from a hub).
• Limehouse Workspace (and similar UK charity hubs): UK charity social enterprise providing affordable workspace to SMEs and charities. Comparable operating model — affordable workspace-as-service, mixed tenants including nonprofits — to Weare336's accessible office proposition.
• The Disability Resource Centre: UK-based disability resource and information centre delivering advice, independent living support and accessibility services. Directly comparable to Weare336's tenant DASL and to the Disability Hub/One Stop Information Shop function.

Emerging players

• Centre for Accessible Environments (CAE): UK charity that promotes and advises on inclusive design and accessibility in the built environment. Comparable to Weare336 in terms of accessibility leadership, though focused on consultancy rather than physical workspace provision.

Regional players

• Citizens UK / Lambeth Citizens: Broad-based community organising charity with a strong Lambeth/south London chapter. Comparable as a south London anchored civic organisation that co-locates community activity and would have overlapping tenant/conference audiences.
