We're thrilled to announce we’ve been awarded a fantastic £25k grant from @AsdaFoundation to repair the roof of the PRSC building!

This support will make this community & arts space watertight, & paves the way for future improvements like solar panels ☀️

We have just heard the news that Turbo Island has been sold outside the planned auction this evening.

Read our public statement below.

Great to have coverage by the BBC on our bid to buy Turbo Island

The auction is tomorrow and the current fact is we haven’t raised enough money.

If you can help us raise the funds please get in touch urgently.

Last ditch attempt to save Turbo Island ahead of sale https://t.co/L1iAJkEufj

[Stokes Croft Land Trust @CroftTrust]

We are calling for Wildstone to take Turbo Island out of next week’s auction, to give us time to raise funds from the community.

Turbo Island is vital part of Stokes Croft, and should be owned by the community.

Just 6 days left until the Turbo Island auction!

Please contribute to the crowdfunder and get in touch if you would like to make a larger donation.

[Stokes Croft Land Trust @CroftTrust]

Turbo Island is set to be sold at auction on 16 October.

The owners have rejected our request to delay the auction and give us time to plan and raise funds for a community purchase.

So now we urgently need your help to raise funds to purchase it!

In the meantime, we call on the owners to take Turbo Island out of the auction to give us more time to fundraise for the purchase.
Save Turbo Island!

This crowdfunder is a grassroots local campaign, with all funds raised going to the Stokes Croft Land Trust to pursue this purchase. We need to raise at least £100k.
Please donate generously and share far and wide!
