Fabric Donates £68,000 To Charity As #saveourculture Comes To An End
When Fabric temporarily closed its doors in September last year, everyone banded together and started fundraising to support the club. After raising over £330,000, and with the help of the #saveourculture campaign on social media, the club ultimately reached an agreement with Islington Council and the police and reopened a few months later. Throughout the process, Fabric published frequent transparency statements, explaining where they were in the process, how the money raised was being spent, and a blow-by-blow account of their legal fight.
In their latest statement they announced they had a spare £68,000 and would be donating it o the following charities: The Loop, NTIA, Music Venue Trust, Centrepoint Midi Music Company, Make-A-Wish UK, Nordoff Robbins and YUAF. Fabric also had a board put up in the club (below) with the names of everyone who contributed to the fund. You can go see it at Fabric's weekend celebration which includes a fabriclive party on Friday and a marathon party from Saturday night until Monday morning. Head here for tickets and more info.
