$807. glad to help out a charity skatepark?

The charity/skatepark is a bit complex in it's own right. We're basically a charity that has a primary aim to help out youths in the community through providing them with a place to expand their horizons, we are a band practice, youth centre, drama centre, skatepark, and live music venue all under one roof with the aim to offer as many facilities as possible either free or at a cut price of a private institution opening it up to the less priviliged as well as the priviliged. Infact Enter Shikari a well known UK metal band made it's fame through playing the Pioneer, several UK pro skateboarders have grown up from the venue aswell through the years. Asides from being the longest established charity in our district it is also one of the oldest indoor skateparks in the UK so it has a lot of history.
We also have a secondary objective as a community centre and during the day when the youths are in school we open our doors to several groups who help with various disabilities like asperges who have come to make it their home over the years. Unfortunately these people will also be excluded as they fall outside the designated government criteria if they were to take it over.
in the last week or so the local council seams to have been doing a lot of back pedaling with regards to the matter as they are starting to realise the upset it is starting to cause so we are going to carry on piling on the pressure through use of modern media until it tilts in our favour. On monday the 4th we have the BBC coming down for a documentary :-)
