AGM and Campaign Meeting

Weds 13th July 2022 at 8pm

As a charity and CIO we are now required to hold an annual general meeting (AGM) in person and not online.

At the meeting we receive reports on the past financial year, and elect our Trustees. The formal AGM notice is here.

We will also have an update on the current situation with the building.

We will follow the AGM with a social networking opportunity - please bring what you drink, and nibbles to share!

An eventful few weeks for Streatham Hill Theatre.

The theatre was added to SAVE Britain's Heritage Buildings at Risk register on Wednesday 29th June. At the same time we named two new Patrons - David Harewood and Jools Holland - and launched a student documentary about the campaign.

Unfortunately on the same day we heard that the theatre freehold was to be sold again, and this was confirmed on Friday 1st July. The property company Hold Land South East Ltd who bought the theatre for £2.67m as a medium to long term investment have sold the building on to Ruach City Church for £4m.

The church plan to use the theatre to relocate from their current Brixton Hill church - they announced the purchase at their gathering on Sunday 3rd July - you can see the video here.

Obviously this will affect the campaign! We will need to understand more about the circumstances, engage with the various organisations supporting the campaign, and reach out to Ruach to understand their plans and their implications.

Please do come along to our AGM - details above - where we can provide the latest information and talk about how we move forward.

Our regular campaign meeting is held every four weeks.
The next will be 10th August.
Meanwhile keep up to date by following us on social media!
