At The Common Room, our crowdfunding initiative aims to uphold our pivotal role in preserving the North East's heritage while fostering innovation and growth for its future. By restoring and managing Neville Hall, a historical cornerstone housing the North East’s Mining Institute since 1872, and curating its extensive archive, we provide a vital space for public engagement and collaboration. Our commitment extends beyond preservation; we actively support young people's aspirations by linking them to industry through STEM projects, exhibitions, and educational programs. Ensuring the building remains open to the public is central to our mission, serving as a hub for gatherings, discussions, and community events in the North East. Your contribution through JustGiving directly sustains these efforts, ensuring continued access to this central gathering space and empowering the next generation to shape the region's future. Thank you for considering supporting our cause.
