Story

Big Lottery funding helps secure our future

 North London Samaritans has been given a grant of £545,000 by Big Lottery to rebuild Shaftesbury Hall to provide a centre for Samaritans’ volunteers and a new public facility for local people.

 The charity now needs help from local businesses, and individuals to raise £15,000 in the next 6 months to complete the project. If all goes to plan, NLS aim to start building work in the autumn of 2017 and complete it by mid-2018.

If you are interested in fundraising or sponsorship opportunities for North London Samaritans’ Shaftesbury Hall appeal please contact North London Samaritans on 020 8368 6789 or email fundraising@northlondonsamaritans.org.uk

 Over 30 local people and groups have already expressed a keen interest in using the space, and this grant will ultimately benefit around 360 people a week.

After the Hall is redeveloped we will have a plaque on the inside listing the names of individuals and organisations who have donated or raised over £500. If you are interested in this please let us know.
