A grave threat to the work of FiA - please sign our online petition
We sadly have news of a grave threat to the continuation of our work. The Salvation Army has informed us that they will shortly be serving us with notice to quit and that we may have to vacate our premises as early as the end of November this year.
As you may know, FiA has, since its inception, operated from the Salvation Army Hall in Kingston Road, Wimbledon. This is a wonderful location for us.
We can offer hot showers, washing machines, counselling and help, a meeting space for service users and of course an extensive kitchen where our volunteers cook nutritious hot meals for the homeless of Merton. And it’s well served by public transport, so those in need can get to us.
With your help, we’ve been able to bring hope and dignity to some of the most marginalised people in our community.
Finding alternative premises in the area that can offer affordable facilities as extensive as these is a Herculean task, and so while we are looking for somewhere else, we are focused on persuading the Salvation Army to reverse their decision.
We desperately need your help. Please sign the petition by clicking this link:

Thank you.
