Iʼm raising £14,000 to support Cafe Blah in setting up at a new premises

Manchester

Don't have time to donate right now?

Story

As of 7th October 2024 the landlord of Cafe Blah changed the locks on the premises over an ongoing dispute. No rent payments were ever missed and we do not believe any form of formal notice was received to evict us from the premises.

Cafe Blah feels like a deeply rooted part of the community here in Withington and we want to carry on trading at another suitable location, keeping an affordable cafe for the community to enjoy. A social space where people can meet up, relax, and have fun. as well as the cozy cafe atmosphere, Blah is host to live music, film screenings, street parties, community festivals, and more. Blah is a place where the community can put on their own events, or come and enjoy ours, and we don't want that to end. we are seeking to raise funds from a variety of sources, but time and money are of the essence for us and a donation towards this target would help towards an initial deposit on a new space, any money that we raise over this will be put towards setting up the space.

Lets save Cafe Blah!

    #3: We made the interior of the original Blah on a shoe string and will try (where possible) to mainly do the same again. This next push is to help with the interior set up and basic music set up. The extra money raised will help us to then create a good quality venue set up which people will want to attend/play. We will be sure to keep the DIY Blah charm and will continue with our ethos of building things out of materials we find. As well as this, we will continue with fundraising events and selling our art. Again, thank you for your support.
