Save 365 Community Centre
Stop trying to close the 365 Community Centre
Why is this important?
The council have a history of closing down community centres in Brixton without proper justification.
After a routine health and safety check ,the independent surveyor, Mr Chris Steel of C. Steele Associates Limited, assured us that we could remain in the building whilst the work was carried out. However, a month later we received letters from the council asking us to leave the building permanently.
We've been working in this building for the past 25 years and it's one of the last remaining community centres that have not been sold to developers.
Our work history at this building has been long and varied.This was recognised by the late great Muhammad Ali who attended our Jubilee 2000 Afrika campaign for the cancellation of 3rd world debt in 1999.
Many political and human rights campaign's have been established at the centre. The centre is a hub for refugees and asylum seekers and people looking for advice and support around housing, employment and other social issues.
Whilst the council want to force us out, our vision for the centre is to expand and archive the work that has been accomplished in the building. And to make the building a flag ship alternative space in Brixton.
