Save The Forest Cafe — Holiday Update
The level of support for The Forest has been absolutely awesome! The fight is not over yet. We are waiting to see what is happening with regard to the building sale and actively trying to figure out the best way to make the forest alive either in Bristo Place or another location.
How much have we raised? We’ve raised about £15,000 so far through fundraising events and donations. We are still accepting donations, and there will be more fundraising events happening in the new year.
Has the building been sold already? The building has been put up for sale by the new owners and the closing date for bids was 14 December. We are still waiting to find out whether there were any offers to buy the building and if an offer was accepted. There was not time for us to put a bid together.
Will The Forest remain in 3 Bristo Place for the foreseeable future? Will events still be able to happen at 3 Bristo Place? Yes, The Forest expects to keep running in 3 Bristo Place for the foreseeable future, you can go ahead and book your events as normal.
When will the next open meeting be? Open meetings have been postponed over xmas. We’ll post an update soon about the next open meeting.
