By now you’ll certainly be aware that Forest needs your help: we’re on a huge fundraising campaign drive to try and help save our home. But we don’t just need your money (though we do need that), we also need your time, energy and ideas!
4.30 - 6.30, Saturday 5th March, The Forest Café.
“The buyers haven’t been in touch with us themselves so we don’t know who they are or what their intentions for the Forest are – but if they’re expecting us to pack up and leave quietly they’re mistaken. Potential buyers should remember that last time we had a big scare, when Eidyn Architects wanted to turn the building into private flats, objection letters from around the world forced them to withdraw.”
PRESS RELEASE and NOTES FOR JOURNALISTS:
The Forest arts and community centre is stepping up the campaign to save its home of 7 years amid the news that a buyer for its building has been found…
Dear Forest volunteers, friends and community,
Late last week we were informed by the estate agents of 3 Bristo Place that a buyer for the building has been found and that a sale is being finalised over the next few weeks. We thought you should hear this important news, and also an important message about it: DON’T PANIC. This is not an end for the campaign, nor an end for Forest; in fact, far from it. There is still a great deal we can do…
Over £14,000 raised so far; Aiming for £50,000 by June 1st; Building secure until August; Huge fundraising party on March 3rd; Big public meeting March 5th; Setup a regular monthly donation…
