Save the last dance for Tea
Tea Dance for Little People, the children's play venue in Brockley, is to relocate from its home in the Tea Factory and is on the hunt for a new home in the area. A planned rent rise and the need for a bigger premises (The Tea Factory has always been a bit of a tight squeeze for them) is behind the move.
TDLP confirmed the news in an email to customers and supporters, saying:
We are busy looking for a new home for
our family arts cafĂ©. We’re reaching out to
our community to assist us in finding new
premises so please contact us if you know of
somewhere or someone who can help.
We’ve
had an opportunity at The Tea Factory to
really discover what TDLP can be. Sadly, the
rental costs are about to increase. Just under
1,000 individual families have visited TDLP
since we opened, more than 20 artists have
been trained and employed, and we have 19
families working through our TeaTimebank,
exchanging their skills for free family time
to help grow the social business.
Without the
investment of Brockley’s local community we
would never have managed to get going and
thank you all for your involvement.
In the mean time, there is a full calendar of events planned at The Tea Factory. We wish them well on their hunt for a new home.
