How can parking support underfunded buildings and restoration?

Across the UK, there are locations that are either underfunded or require donations to provide services, complete maintenance and perform restoration works.

Many sites, such as churches, community centres and listed buildings, rely on donations and crowdfunding to pay for ongoing work and support their sites. The downside to this is that raising money in this way is often inconsistent and can take time. When this money is needed to pay for repair work or maintenance, time can often mean a project getting more expensive.

Your car park could be a powerful asset, generating a more consistent income that can help you reinvest, revitalise, and restore a site in a much tighter timeframe.

Generating revenue from your car park

Your car park has the potential to generate revenue, with multiple opportunities to monetise the space on your site.

Whether opening your car park as a paid site when it isn’t in use, offering surplus spaces for pre-booking or adding EV charging to your car park, these options all provide a healthy boost to a location’s bottom line.

For example, schools, religious sites, and community centres could offer pre-booking on their site when they know it isn’t busy, such as outside of term times, between services, or around events. EV charging lets you provide a welcome service to a community and generate additional revenue in the process, while paid parking allows you to monetise your site out-of-hours, such as at weekends or when your building is closed.

This is all revenue that can be reinvested back into your site. This could be used to pay for important maintenance work with less worry about the financial implications, funding restoration works, such as a church repairing a steeple, or a listed building employing the services of specialised craftspeople. It can even help to provide the financial support a site needs to fund services, community groups or other important initiatives.

Working with a car park management provider can help provide a site with the support, systems, and equipment it needs to make more of the car park, but if cost is a concern, what are your options?
