The Council Delayed. We Can't.

Help Us Bridge the Gap.

The Brutal Truth:

    Tower Hamlets Council has deferred our lease renewal decision until June. While our legal protections temporarily roll over, major grant funders are unable to release essential funds without long-term lease security. Our core operational revenue is frozen, and we are draining emergency reserves.

    As a direct result, the Attlee Centre must temporarily suspend its face-to-face play services starting Monday, 25 May 2026 (including the May half-term). This is the first time in 46 years our gates will close for a school holiday.

    We refuse to let this pause become permanent. We are launching our "Bridge the Gap" survival campaign to raise £30,000 to cover basic staff overheads, secure our facilities, and guarantee our full 2026 Summer Holiday Programme.
