Hi everyone, you will be receiving messages from GoCardless as they collect your pledges. Unfortunately they have used the wrong organisation name (Poroban Ltd) but don't worry the funds will come to the Friends, as indicated in the payment reference which starts FRIENDSOFSTR. Thanks for your support and don't forget to join us at our next campaign meeting and AGM.
Thanks to your great support we reached the target before the deadline! Since then we have been working with the Mayor of London & the GLA to make arrangements for their pledge to be paid – it will be released in stages. Meanwhile your pledge will soon be taken by Spacehive – watch out for messages from them. And Lambeth will be releasing their pledge too. In recognition of your support, we have made you a member of the Friends – there’s no charge for membership. We have also put you on our email list for our regular newsletters with updates on the progress of the study project and the wider campaign. An archive of messages is available at www.streathamhilltheatre.org/news. If you find you are not getting those newsletters, you can sign up to the list at www.streathamhilltheatre.org/join. If you want to unsubscribe from the email list at anytime you can click the link in any of the messages you receive. We also hold regular fortnightly online campaign meetings which you are very welcome to join in – details in the newsletters. The next one is also our Annual General Meeting where we elect our committee, and we will also be voting on charity status. We are working on a tender to send out to potential providers for the viability study, and thanks to a grant from Theatres Trust we can extend the scope of work to include an economic impact assessment to help show the benefits a revived building can bring, especially as we exit COVID-19. Thanks once again and watch out for updates on saving Streatham Hill Theatre.
Whoop, 440 people have pledged since fundraising began!
Brilliant news, thanks everyone!

Wow, we hit the target early! Thanks to everyone who has supported the campaign and pledged so far. The target has been a bit of a moving one as it includes estimated Spacehive platform and transaction charges which depend on the number and size of pledges, so a new pledge can change the target making it difficult to hit exactly, but thanks to those who tried that! We'll continue to keep the crowdfund open until the target date as any overfunding beyond the target can be used to support the campaign and go towards future phases, such as an Economic Impact Assessment to show the benefits to the local economy from regenerating the old theatre as a new arts and cultural centre. AND IN BREAKING NEWS we've have heard from Lambeth that they are giving £7,500 towards the campaign which is a great boost. Thanks to everyone there who has been helping us. More to follow.
