West London black hub needs £65,000 to move

“[The report] found that we are the least supported,” Ms Brooks said.
Ealing Council said it was working to find “alternative spaces”.
It had, it said, raised the matter with developers and the West Ealing business improvement district and was in discussions with the landlord to explore what might be possible.
Ms Brooks said: “If you look at other boroughs, there are black cultural centres – we just want the same as they’ve got. We don’t know why we have to fight for Ealing [Council] to help us.”
Ealing Council said it recognised the value of CACE.
“While the building they currently occupy is privately owned and not under council control, Councillor Polly Knewstub, cabinet member for healthy equal lives, has visited the hub, as have council officers, and spoken with the group to help explore possible solutions.”
It said council buildings sometimes became available for lease and it was committed to supporting arts, culture and heritage organisations.
