The campaign has now expired but it's not too late to support this charity.
Visit the charity's profileUnfortunately, there have been a series of criminal damage attacks on our building in the last month - hate crimes involving putting glue in the front lock and the back and front padlocks, which is putting some strain on our costs, having to replace locks and purchase CCTV. If you can donate a small amount it would help us to make the hall more secure & pay for CCTV.
Mornington Hall operates at the heart of the Chingford community. It provides childcare, fitness classes, baby sensory, life drawing and many other valuable community activities.
It is also home to much-loved theatre group CADOS, who have kept local people entertained for over 75 years.
We lease Mornington Hall from the council and manage it on a voluntary basis. In recent years, we have invested over £20k to grow the hall as a community arts venue and theatre.
We urgently need to raise £1000 to make the hall secure & cope with ongoing costs connected with vandalism .
If Mornington Hall closes, many activities which enhance the health and wellbeing of local people could be put at risk. But with your support, we can keep our beautiful venue open for all to enjoy.
Over to CADOS Chair, Jacky Logan...
All donations go to CADOS, a registered charity (no. 280809). Should we exceed the funds needed for security, your support will help maintain Mornington Hall for the community.
