They told Brixton Buzz:
As a small local business, we work hard every day to provide a welcoming place for our customers and support the neighbourhood we call home.
And honestly, we love it! The friends we’ve made, holding a peaceful space for our community, and growing as a business even alongside the seemingly never ending improvements-is such a joy for us.
And we love sharing that with all that grace our green little oasis in good ol’ Streatham.
Yet, with so many useful and lovely shops disappearing in the high street, we don’t want to be another casualty, with something that is out of our control. SO, shop safety is critical!
Unfortunately, the cost of repairing or replacing the damaged shutter, improving security, and covering emergency repairs is more than we can comfortably absorb on our own.
We’re asking for the community’s help to get back on our feet-and keep Streatham High Street that bit greener!
