Hi,
A bunch of us are currently in the process of setting up an autonomous social centre in Leeds that we thought could be beneficial to your group. The plan is to buy a building that will provide free or very cheap meeting, workshop and creative spaces, a venue for socialising and to put on fundraisers, a cheap community cafe and some office space for supportive groups, alongside loads of other ideas in the pipeline.

At the moment, we're producing a business plan to apply for a mortgage, searching for buildings and planning lots of fundraisers for the deposit. We meet up every month to catch up and think more about what kind of space we'd like.

It would be great to get some involvement from your group from these initial stages, to make sure we think of all the amazing things we could do and to speed up this process. Also, fundraising is a huge priority and the quicker we raise the deposit, the closer we get to opening the space. If your group would be willing to put on a fundraiser, or help out on one of ours, that would be amazing.

Please let us know your thoughts.
Our next meeting is on the 21st September at 6pm in the Common Place and if you'd like to join our discussion list, type your details here.
