Thanks to everyone who came and helped to clear the way today and for all the kind words and wishes (well, thanks to everyone apart from whoever thought they'd relieve us of our trolley - cheers for that, super helpful👍).

We are understandably heartbroken at the closure of the charity, however we're looking forward to a more positive announcement about the Hideaway's future soon.

In the meantime, many of our staff are still looking for suitable jobs and the employment market is beyond difficult right now, especially for roles which might fit around school hours. If you do know of anything suitable, please send them our way so that we can pass them on. Thank you.

Thank you so much to those of you have expressed concern for our staff team as they face uncertainty and unemployment. As many have requested, we've now set up a dedicated fund which will be a discretionary fund to support team members who will be most affected.
This is not instead of the wages and money due to them, but to help people get by in the meantime. Thank you.
