Platform 51 Announcement
Platform 51 announces resignation of CEO
During the past 18 months, the charity has taken steps to rectify its financial deficit by restructuring the organisation with a saving of nearly £1m in overheads. Now that this has been completed, and with a new strategic direction in place, Penny Newman has decided to resign from Platform 51 with effect from Autumn 2012.

Head office move
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.
