Freedom Building Fund

Maintaining the collectively owned building housing the oldest anarchist bookshop in Britain
Beskrivning
The Freedom building at 84b Whitechapel High Street in London, England has aspired to be a space to meet, learn and grow since the anarchist collective moved their operations there in 1968. Best known as the home of Freedom Bookshop, news and publishing house, it also plays host to a variety of organisations struggling against the state and capital.
The 4-storey building tucked away down Angel Alley in London's historic East End also offers a free or low-cost space for meetings and events put on by groups from across the anti-authoritarian left. To book it, check out Decentre.
Due to dramatic increases in the cost of energy and local business rates, the building is in need of more funds and support to keep it going and to make key repairs. Some of the latter include:
- Maintaining the roof
- Repairs/improvements to windows and frames
- Stair and floorboard repairs
- Plastering, painting and decoration
- Internal insulation
- Upgrading the roller shutters
Which is before we get to the bigger projects that we have in mind for the future, namely a disabled-access loo on the ground floor.
