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.
