Not all alternatives have been exhausted. There are other options that should be explored with wider consultation and support.

Save The Africa Centre!Published by Karen Sussex on Mar 23, 2011

Background (Preamble):

Letter to the Trustees of the Africa Centre (Registered Charity No: 313510)38 King Street, Covent Garden, London WC2E 8JT 21 March 2011

We the undersigned, understand that you are proposing to sell the 38 King Street premises and close down the AfricaCentre as it presently exists.

While we appreciate that you have done what you can to keep the Centre going, we believe exercising the option to sellthis property held in trust is a mistake. Not all alternatives have been exhausted. There are other options that should beexplored with wider consultation and support.

The Centre has been a meeting place, a cultural beacon and an iconic landmark in the centre of London for more than40 years. Given by the Catholic Church in perpetuity to the people of Africa, huge numbers of Africans and othersinterested in Africa have been to meetings and events there. These people are stakeholders too and they would like asay in its future. To simply decide to sell the building without consulting them would be a betrayal of your duty as aTrustee.

Africa has recently risen up the international agenda. Although the economic recession has affected the western world,Africa is the fastest growing region on earth at the moment. Investors, new and old, are engaged with, and in, Africancountries as never before. In other ways too, in the arts, music and literature, Africa's importance is experiencing arenaissance. It would be ironic if, at the very moment the rest of the world takes Africa seriously, the Africa Centreclosed.

Furthermore the meetings and events programme has recently been revived thanks to the enthusiasm and dedication ofa few individuals and the numbers attending indicate the demand for African events in the centre of London is high andgrowing. Abandoning the Africa Centre now would be to lose a gilt edged opportunity, perhaps especially consideringthe upcoming platform offered by the 2012 Cultural Olympiad in London. A study three years ago indicated wide support for the Centre and concluded that raising money to revamp the buildingwas feasible. We believe this is still the case and that not all possibilities for raising the necessary money have beenexplored. There are alternatives. While the ground floor and lower ground floor are available for functions, meetings andsocial events, the upper floors are now fully occupied by organisations involved in Africa, who bring in income andfurther the aims of the Centre. They have indicated they wish to be involved in the regeneration of the Africa Centre atKing Street.

We see no evidence that alternative ways forward have been fully explored, no discussions with those who use theAfrica Centre have been held, no evidence that the price being offered is the best that can be realised and no plan tocontinue the Africa Centre's mission at another home.

Petition Text:

We, the undersigned call on the Trustees of the Africa Centre not to sell the Africa Centre before full public consultationhas taken place.

Appendix: All signatures comments

486 Ama Biney Back to signature list

This is an important and central venue for any one interested in issues pertaining to the African continent. Africa isimportant in global affairs though it continues to be marginalised by the North.

478 Berni Widemann Back to signature list

Don't make London loose a unique centre of African culture and arts. This is a positive, productive place were peoplefrom all walks of life learn and participate without being judged. There aren't enough of these about.

455 wade Jacks Back to signature list

Time changes , that is true. But if we get rid of something as influential as the Africa centre what will replace it???Another office space? Life will have no depth if we sell off what makes it worth while

442 Jenny Horrocks Back to signature list

The Africa Centre is a crucial part of London life for Africans and for those who love the continent. It's an importantmeeting place and place for exchanging views and information. It's a place for debate and learning... (I learnt Kiswahilithere many years ago) and I think it would be a terrible loss to the African community in London were it to be closed.... inparticular if there are no plans to replace it.

440 Anningwaa Boakye-Yiadom Back to signature list

this place is a vital monument for all Africans in London and the UK!

439 rita ray Back to signature list

It would be a travesty and a huge shame on us all if we allow the Africa Centre to be sold. We need it - especially whereit is and we need to use it to the best of it's potential. this is a prime location we couldn't do any better than to have itwhere it is.

433 Kabage karanja Back to signature list

There can be a progressive caviat attched to any development on the site stipulating that the African centre be retainedin some shape or form. To make this possible a rethinking-desgn exercise exploring how the centre can become morecommercially viable should take place as soon as possible. A vision for the future of the centre needs to be thoughtthrough and presented.

429 Ghislain Mudlamootoo Back to signature list

I have been to the Africa Centre for many, many years. It has been a source of please to go there with friends overmany years. Please don't the Centre. Try for a lottery grant if you have not done so already.

428 William Freund Back to signature list

What a shame to abandon this project after these tumultous years. There must be many possible ways to take itforward.

The Africa Centre has been and remains a mecca for both Africans in the UK and all who love and are concerned forthis vast continent. It was of particular importance during the dark days of apartheid in South Africa & Namibia.

423 Jennifer Aikins-Appiah Back to signature list

A public consultation will allow fair comment from all stakeholders (public included) adding to the integrity of a finaldecision whether to pursue closure or identify other means to ensure this pivotal community entity continues

418 leeto thale Back to signature list

Do Africans still have to beg for a place in the world!

411 shaun Wallace Back to signature list

409 Renate Braimah Back to signature list

I second the petition and very much hope that the iconic Africa Centre can be saved.

405 Kadija George Back to signature list

Art is the HeArt of a Nation

404 Robert Asare Back to signature list

The Africa Centre is a beacon in an otherwise dark landscape for visible, authentic, African Art and Culture in CentralLondon.

401 shirley may Back to signature list

I am told that I'm amongst the statistic that say I am less than 1% of this country population. please DO NOT sell areheritage down the line. Money is not every thing.

395 Kofi Allen Back to signature list

We Love the Africa Centre, for all that it stands for, not only for the indigenous people of Africa, but to also expand thewider implication of having a space where other cultures may come to integrate with the african / Diaspora culture!

Without having a place to regard as a central point to engage so many topics, events, and practices significant to blackculture, this would be a sad and crippling blow for those seeking to broaden their understanding about Africa culture.

380 Jeremy Green Back to signature list

It seems a great shame that all avenues have not been explored prior to reaching this outcome.

378 Richard Fardon Back to signature list

Such an irrevocable step should have been the result of much wider consultation

370 Trevor H J Marchand Back to signature list

An important and historic resource that must be retained.

361 Dayo Johnson Back to signature list

When I schooled and worked in the UK, the Africa Centre was a place I took my European friends and businesscolleagues, to help them understand African Culture. It would be a terrible shame to let the place go.Please save the centre for Africans living abroad.

358 Christine Eyene Back to signature list

There is a vibrant African and Diaspora community in the UK and a number of arts professionals as never beenconsulted to explore further possibilities to revive the centre. My experience of the Africa Centre as member of staff from2002 to 2004 is that it replicated all the signs of bad governance that characterise the African continent. But there ismore to the art community and it is the Africa Centre's obligation to protect our cultural heritage in the UK.

351 Kwaku Kwaku Back to signature list

What a shame that in 2011 when we're marking as the UN's Year of People Of African Descent, an important centre forAfrican people is not in the news for a positive reason, but rather because the Trustees are considering selling it!

The pool of Trustees perhaps needs to be expanded to take in new members that can bring in new alternatives forsaving African Centre.

349 Barbara Campbell Back to signature list

If the purpose of the Africa Centre is to reflect and appreciate the African's in the UK etc, then please note that WE arestill here and we're a piece of the landscape of this country and so is this Centre. To want to scrap it is giving out thewrong message to African's born or now living in the UK. Is this another way of directing us to Heathrow? Pls keep thecentre, but PROMOTE it - only then will you see that is IS wanted and very much needed!

332 Amber Meikle Back to signature list

come on, you know better than this! save the centre.

331 William Schrecck Back to signature list

Having spent 10 years of my life teaching in 3 African countries, Botswana, Kenya and Nigeria, I know how vital TheAfrica Centre is to Africa, Africans and, in particular, the United Kingdom. The UK is the proud home to thisworld-renowned centre, a beacon of information and an international forum for open discussion. Where else could suchan essential centre exist? Save it.

325 moira Jenkins Back to signature list

i love the africa centre!

310 Toyin Sule Back to signature list

Let us try to see if we can get an alternative first before selling the present site. What happens to the sales money whenit is sold?

The African Centre is the inscription of the African people on central London which provides a venue for Londoners andvisitors to view Africa from different perspectives and to gain a better understanding of the Continent, thereby buildingbonds of friendship. Please do not let this vision die under your watch.

302 Ezekiel Dada Back to signature list

Pls reconsider and do the right thing.

298 Russell Corn Back to signature list

you would be failing in your duty to the founders to aloow this to happen.

288 Namvula Rennie Back to signature list

African diasporans have been waiting for years for the refurbishment of the Africa Centre...and now we hear of plans tosell it off? The Africa Centre should be a public institution playing a crucial role in supporting and promoting our cultureand heritage, and not a disposable asset...it's shameful that there are plans to sell.

284 Agnes Kuye Back to signature list

The Africa Centre has been a place of enjoyment for me for many years. Festivals,events, shows etc. too much fun. ITCANNOT CLOSE !!! SO SAD...

280 Eric Acha Back to signature list

It will be disheartening and resentful to have one and only Africa's cultural iconic symbol in the heart of London go downthe drain in the wake of this new African era. Please, Please reconsider your decision. We all know the importance of this historic centre to Africa and its culture.

270 Chizom Ekeh Back to signature list

This is a very sad and serious state of affairs. It is a disgrace that no wider consultation has been carried our prior to adecision having been made.

268 Christiane Ngono Back to signature list

That would be a great loss as as far as I am aware, there is no other place like that in the world dedicated for thepurpose of African culture. In the future, it will be nearly impossible to reacquire a whole building like that in such a greatlocation. I dont need to debate, I just stronly oppose it!

264 A Ofoegbu Back to signature list

An institution for African culture and anyone who has enjoyed what this continent has given and has yet to offer shouldremain accessible in the heart of London's West End

254 Gaylene Gould Back to signature list

As Founder of the Underground Railroad network, a network of black UK artists and creative entrepreneurs, I stronglyadvise against this move to sell off the Africa Centre before a creative consultation process to review options. Havingcreative space in London, is much more lucrative in the long-run. Investment can always be drawn down to support itscore aims - we don't doubt that. Letting it go will lead to a state of severe impoverishment.

248 Ade Sofola Back to signature list

It is really important that as the London becomes more diverse, the voice of the African disapora remains at the heart ofthe city. The building in Covent Garden has a great legacy and there has been much investment to improve it - surely itis madness to sell it now in the middle of its resurgence?

246 Abimbola Sule Back to signature list

We need the Africa center. Don't sell such an integral part of our history. We'll have nothing left!

238 Fidaa Mahmoud Back to signature list

Dear turstees,

I think that giving out this place at the heart of London without having a claer and transparent plan for the activities of theAfrica Centre will mean that it will basically cese to exist.

I appeal to you to reconsider your decision and try to find other ways of savin this key place which has been promotingAfrican and African issues, arts and cultures for years

237 Ade Akinlaja Back to signature list

I have been using the Africa Centre for several decades and find it a lifeline to African Resources, closing it with no planfor its future appears rather short sighted to me. The trustees need to balance the tangible and intangible cost-benefitwhen deciding.

236 Dahabo Isse Back to signature list

The Centre is a meeting place and events for African people in London for more than 40 years. Some of these people are stakeholders and have a right to participate its consultation.

I urge the centre should not be closed as the initial for its opening still there and demand is even more greater thanbefore.

224 NNANNA IGWE Back to signature list

Please am fully supportive of the fight against any planned sale house in which the African Centre London is located.

Please help further the cause of Africa,m explore better options.

No ! No!! No to the planned sale of this property.

God bless Africa

215 Alexander McGregor Back to signature list

Africa as a continent has always suffered from under funding and a lack of overall respect; let's break the cycle andinvest in the Africa centre which is a beacon of hope, cultural education and human unity.

214 Sylvie Aboa-Bradwell Back to signature list

Selling the Africa Centre would be a blow to many members of the African community.

213 Bob Awuor Back to signature list

This is preposterous, to say the least! Kindly do not sell the only asset dedicated to serving Africans and African causesat the heart of Europe! Shame on you, African Centre Trustees, for even considering dispossing of something whichyour predecessors never even thought of! We shall help mobilise the African Diaspora community in Europe to raise therequisite funds to save this vital asset and keep it within our community. Hope good sense prevails!

210 Kees Maxey Back to signature list

208 Temitope Olodo Back to signature list

The terms and conditions given to the Trustees and the spirit in which it was granted must be maintained. It must beclear that every avenue has been explored effectively and that all the embassies, business in Africa and Africans have asay on the way forward

198 Anthony Sawyerr Back to signature list

we the undersigned, understand that you are proposing to sell the 38 King Street premises and close down the AfricaCentre as it presently exists. While we appreciate that you have done what you can to keep the centre going, we believeexercising the option to sell this property held in trust is a mistake. We therefore call on you to meet us , the undersignedor our presentatives with a view to holding a Public Meeting where supporters of the Africa Centre can put forwardalternative ideas.

The Times summed it up beautifully -'Skyscrapers in Addis Ababa, a 'new Manhattan' emerges on Victoria Island inlagos. Film festivals in Mali, fashion shows in Jo'berg and concerts in Kinshasa. African art and novelists flourish'. Africais changing and the Africa Centre in London has for the past 40 years promoted, supported and ecouraged change.Supporters of the Centre are testimony to the tough times, it is only right that they remain together to witness and sharein Africa's excitng future

As a former Chairman of the Africa Centre,I am aware of the role that the Africa Centre in Central London has withpersonnel from the African Diaspora.locals and visitors and therefore propose that any actions to sell the building inKings Street should be strongly objected to.During my Chairmanship the Board and I secured a grant of £3.5miilion from the Arts Council to re-furbish the AfricaCentre and now cannot see any reasons as to why the building needs to be sold.

The Africa Centre needs to stay open for those in this country - Africans and non-Africans, and those who come to thiscountry who are passionate about Africa. It is a place to meet and do things African, debate Africa, and inform aboutAfrica; it is a home away from home!

161 E Kudzoe Back to signature list

An action to close the Africa centre at this juncture when there is even more promise and concrete signs of theemergence of continent is shortsighted. While focus is on the BRIC countries and in the middle of the biggest downturnendured by the Western world for decades, analysts have pointed to the emerging economies of Africa, which looked attogether are likely to present their era of growth, cultural and social emergence that our connections from London willbenefit.

If this sale goes ahead, London will be bereft of the one historic and central place at which Africans and Africa-phileshave been meeting, eating, drinking, dancing and reading for generations. Creative thinking could save the Africacentre.
