The Charity

Norton Park SCIO  is an independent registered Scottish Charity (SC048639) formed to establish Norton Park office complex as the first shared premises project for third sector organisations in Scotland. In developing Norton Park, the Trust was seeking to provide high quality, affordable shared premises for charitable organisations to enable the sharing of experiences and resources.

The complex opened in 1998 and now accommodates 20 different charities.
