    Story

    People in Penicuik have long enjoyed concerts, exhibitions, workshops, ceilidhs, and other events in our cosy wee arts centre in West Street. Not to mention the very yummy and inexpensive homemade soups, scones, toasties and cakes in the tiny café, where "regulars" become friends who are looked out for, and where strangers are warmly welcomed. The centre is run, managed and manned by volunteers, and we keep all prices as low as possible. This means we're not rich and we run on a shoe-string. Covid has stopped all our activities. So we have had no income since covid lockdown started, but we still have regular standing charge bills to pay. The latest bombshell is an estimate of £5000 for structural repairs to stop an ingress of damp. We're appealing for help towards covering this cost so that we can carry on providing music and arts to our local community.

      It's been some time since I updated you, and I'd like to thank you again for your generosity. Thanks to your donations via "JustGiving", plus donations via our website and the letterbox of West Street Arts Centre, we've raised enough to give the go-ahead for the current roof repairs. However, we are still struggling to pay the monthly bills (which have to be paid even though the centre is closed), and we anticipate further building repair bills, so further donations are always extremely welcome. HUGE THANKS again to all of you! :) xx

      We're so grateful to everyone who's donated so far. We are about a third of the way to our current target, and this will certainly help. Please spread the word if you can, and MANY thanks again for your generosity. Sue
