The Little House

The Little House, is a community hall that myself and others have been working on, over the last few years to provide a space for artists and community groups we work from an old school hall in Hounslow West London, we provide muti-media equipment to community groups and provide space for bands to rehearse and play as well as record, for the bands they need this space so they can develop and learn how to use a studio before they go and use and pay money for studio time. Community groups need the  space for thier projects and with most do not allways have the funds to pay for space, so we try to do as much as we can for them.

The little House was built in 1906 as a school hall, it has needs a real make over, we have been lucky to get money to fix the roof and put in sound proofed windows from BAA, (Britsih Airport Authority) they have been wonderfull to us in helping to provide the funds to do this, we now no longer have the rain pouring in, we are desperate for funds to fix the rest of the building, our project will in time be self supporting however we are just making the rent each month which in turn makes it hard to invest funds to spend on the maintance of the building, we have no finacial support from Hounslow Council other then a rent reduction which they are looking to take away from the centre as they see no value in supporting community center's when they can get money for the sale of the land.

Yes I suppose this is a begging letter blog but if you could see the value of every pound spent you would see a very viable project and one that is doing so much to support other community groups in the local area.

We give direction to so many young people's lives and show them where you can get the education to get a carreer in the creative industries, is it not time for those same indutiries to invest in projects like ours.
