South London community cafe launches fundraising appeal after suffering three break-ins in a month - BrixtonBuzz
Description

Hive Café, a community charity café in SW2 providing work placements for people with learning disabilities, is appealing for funds after suffering multiple break ins.

Over the past three weeks, the cafe has suffered three break-ins—on December 22nd, December 24th, and January 6th 2025—causing extensive damage.

Vandals destroyed windows, stole the till, and caused total damages exceeding £25,000. The café is currently closed, leaving staff and work placements without a safe space to work.

All funds raised will go toward repairing the café, replacing stolen equipment, and installing shutters to prevent further incidents.

Every contribution helps keep Hive Café open and supports the amazing work it does for the community.

So far, £3,529 has been raised toward the £10,000 goal – please give what you can.
