Financial appeal: help us make it to 30

London Hazards provides an indispensible service for Londoners. 

The Centre is bidding for a commission from London Councils to take us into 2013/2015.  If successful it will mean we will have some core funding to keep it open in its 30th anniversary years – 2014 when it opened, 2015 when it became incorporated. The historic document signed and witnessed by some (now) old men and one old woman is here  LHC Memorandum of Association.

We will apply to other charities as well.

‘Health and Safety’ issues are being pushed further down the business agenda in the scramble to cut costs, increase work rates, and worsen working conditions.

This is together with the 35% cut in the Health and Safety Executive budget, the lowest enforcement activity for decades, a Lofstedt inspired shredding of health and safety regulation and a government led crusade against the mythical beast “the compensation culture”.

As always, we do need money of our own as well as grant income. To help the Centre make it to 30 we would like you to:

  • affiliate: £10 for individuals, £30 small groups, £60 organisations with 1,000 members, £100 Regional trade unions etc – contact the Centre at mail@lhc.org.uk if you need more information or want us to post an affiliation form.
  • or make a donation however small towards our general running costs 

Please make cheques to: London Hazards Centre Trust Ltd and send to: London Hazards Centre, 213 Haverstock Hill, London NW3 4QP.

Or pay  directly into our account, with an e-mail to let us know:

HSBC Kentish Town London Hazards Centre Trust Ltd Sort Code 40-04-03 Account 01484265.

The generosity of our supporters has saved London Hazards Centre many times since it opened in 1984 and we hope that once again you will help us “bridge the gap”. Please support us!
