The Place is a much-loved community and activity centre in Sherwood, providing a welcoming, inclusive space for people of all ages to come together. From classes, creative workshops and social groups to support networks and community-led initiatives, The Place plays a vital role in reducing isolation and strengthening our local community.
We are now at a crucial point in our journey.
To continue operating and to safeguard the future of The Place, we are in the process of entering into a formal lease with Nottingham City Council. Before we can sign this lease, we must take essential and responsible steps to protect the organisation, our volunteers and the community we serve.
Why we need your support
We are raising funds to cover two unavoidable professional costs:
- A solicitor to review the lease in detail, ensure the terms are fair and appropriate for a community organisation, and to be present for the formal signing.
- A professional building survey to assess the condition of the premises before the lease is signed, helping us understand any existing issues and avoid unexpected liabilities in the future.
These steps are not optional - they are essential to ensure The Place can operate safely, sustainably and responsibly for years to come.
As a community-led, not-for-profit organisation, we do not have the reserves to cover these costs without support. Every pound raised will go directly towards securing professional advice and assessments that protect the long-term future of The Place.
What your donation will help achieve
By contributing, you are helping to:
- Secure a safe and legally sound lease for our community home.
- Protect volunteers and trustees from unnecessary risk.
- Ensure transparency and accountability in how we operate.
- Keep The Place open, accessible and thriving for the community.
Whether you donate, share this fundraiser or spread the word, your support makes a real difference.
Thank you for helping us protect and secure The Place - a space built by the community, for the community.
