We’re raising £525 to cover the repair of the front door at Sketchy Beats.
Help us with our emergency door repair!
Our front door has seen many faces pass through it over the past decade. It’s survived being broken into, shot at by pellet guns and been forced to put up with ten year’s worth of creative antics. It's impressive it's lasted this long!
Sadly, a couple of weeks ago, its aging joints seized up and it got itself into a bit of a jam. It’s quite an old design with some unusual parts, so fixing it wasn’t as simple as we’d originally hoped.
Mowley, of the Leith CRAIC collective, kindly volunteered to find someone willing and able to take on the job. After waiting for some obscure parts to arrive, our front door is now back in action!
The repair came to a total of £525, which Mowley very generously paid for out of his own pocket. We’re hoping to raise the funds to pay Mowley back as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, the funding we received from the National Lottery can only go towards our weekly art classes - it can’t be used for repairs or the general running costs of the space.
We’ll be organising some fundraising events over the next few weeks and we’ve also set up this Crowdfunder, for anyone who would like to help but isn’t able to make it along in person.
So, if you’ve ever been one of those faces who has walked through our door, please spare a few pennies to help us pay for its repair!
Hopefully, we can keep this slightly battered but much-loved door open for many more years to come.
Every donation, however small, is hugely appreciated.
Thank you for reading and thank you for helping keep Sketchy Beats going!
