Wishing you a Happy New Year!
May your 2021 be better than your 2020!
Despite the problems with COVID in 2020, the campaign has been able to proceed well. Let's hope we can get COVID behind us in 2021.

Could Streatham Hill Theatre look like this one day?
|
|
Can you help some more please?
The Spacehive Crowdfunder we ran earlier in the year was very successful, with pledges from hundreds of supporters and grants from Lambeth, Mayor of London and Theatres Trust more than reaching the total we needed to carry out the viability study and economic impact assessment. We thank everyone who contributed!
Unfortunately, when Spacehive processed the pledges, some could not be collected. We suspect much of this was due to the arrival of COVID and its impact on pledgers employment and income making it no longer possible for them to contribute.
While we have received a few more donations (thank you!) since the Crowdfunder, we still have a small shortfall of around £2000.
As we enter the New Year with great proposals for the future of Streatham Hill Theatre emerging from the study (see below) we are asking if you can please donate a little more here to enable the campaign to continue.
Thanks very much!

Viability study and economic assessment
We received and workshopped the interim findings with consultants FEI in December, and have also discussed it with our Trustees and our Expert Panel. We went through highlights at the last campaign meeting. The study has gathered useful information, highlighted issues and identified proposal options for the future of SHT. These findings will be progressed to produce the final report around the end of January.
Talking with Stakeholders
As we start the new year we will be holding further meetings with local Councillors, Lambeth officers, our funders from Lambeth, GLA/Mayor of London and Theatres Trust, and also continuing to try to meet with the owners. As the study is progressing we have a number of issues and proposals we want to discuss with these stakeholders with the aim of moving forward the campaign.
Charitable Status
Our application for CIO (Charitable Incorporated Organisation) status has been amended as a result of feedback from the Charity Commission and is back with them for assessment. We hope it will come through early in the new year.
