Help us Replace Items Stolen in a Burglary
Donación protegida
**This campaign is now closed. With the help of a lot of people who we are lucky to have looking in our direction we managed to reach our goal and can get back on our feet. Thank you to everyone who read, shared, and donated to us over the past weeks.**
We are Camberwell Subterranea - A community safe space and bicycle workshop located in three garage units underneath Aberfeldy House on the Brandon Estate, Camberwell.
Generally what we do is run free-of-charge bicycle maintenance workshops for the local community. Teaching them practical skills as well as helping them maintain their own means of transport. On top of this we offer general maintenance and servicing for anyone who drops by.
The proceeds of the services all go back into the community, we are also run solely by volunteers, with the exception of a mechanic on Saturdays for the DIY workshops.
The space is also occupied during the week by Matt and Henry, who restore bicycles they have bought themselves to earn a wage while out of work due to COVID-19. They also act as mechanics for general services, again - voluntarily.
Unfortunately what seems now inevitable happened to us on Wednesday night and we were burgled. We have been lucky and not lost everything, but we have lost a lot of our hand tools, a few power tools and two bikes, one belonging to a customer which has huge sentimental value to him.
As such, we are looking to raise funds to replace what was lost and make things right with our customer. It has been made incredibly difficult for us to continue fixing bikes for the community without most of the tools we use day-to-day.
Anything over what we need will be put back into improving the service we can offer (for instance, we currently have no toilet facilities - not so fun 10-5 Monday to Friday) or put directly back into the community. There's no way your donation will not help someone.
We just want to get back to being useful to our community.
Thank you,
Camberwell Subterranea Team
