Share issue to be extended

The share issue has been extended to JUNE 2012. We've reached almost £150,000 in share sales from 200+ investors in six months.  Not enough yet, but our target is achievable WITH YOUR HELP.  We're now in a very constructive negotiation with the owners, and the cash is essential to close the deal.

We need £250,000 in share sales and donations - we have 5 months - the threat remains

This is a unique cooperative venture to buy, restore and operate Portland Works as a social enterprise, supporting traditional and creative enterprises, educational work and Sheffield's heritage. The project is run entirely by volunteers and supported by people like yourself - almost all private individuals who want to see the works survive under community ownership.

If we don't succeed, the Works will be closed down and redeveloped

Will you help us get to our target?  The share issue has been extended to JUNE 2012  - get in touch via info@portlandworks.co.uk
