Head office move
Platform 51's head office moves to Botley, Oxford
We are excited to announce the move of Platform 51's Oxford Head Office from Cornmarket Street to the Botley Road. Platform 51's new registered address will be: New Barclay House, 234 Botley Road, Botley, OX2 0HP. With lower rent costs and more meeting space, this move will allow us to become more cost-efficient and create an environment that is better fitted to our purpose. We can therefore ensure that all our available funds are being directed towards the girls and women who use our services, at a time when we know that women are facing increased hardship. We look forward to welcoming you to the new offices in the near future.

Platform 51 centres remain open for women in riot-affected areas
Platform 51 is concerned that women may be feeling significantly more vulnerable and isolated following the recent riots and disturbances. We would like to reassure all women and girls, particularly those in the areas most affected by the riots - London, Wolverhampton, Bristol, Knowsley [our nearest centre to south Liverpool where riots broke out] - that all our Platform 51 centres remain open and ready to welcome you.
