All 9 Lambeth groups currently receiving core funding from the Association of Local Government have been told there will be no more funding after 31st March. 198 Gallery are losing £30k and Oval House £50k. This latter group may have to close. There is an appeals procedure and 198 is restating their case. The Gallery meets 100% the objectives for funding. viz. education based project for young people schools, young offeners etc. "We are doing some serious lobbying as well"said Lucy Davies Director of 198 Gallery.
