The Issue

As a member of Sqoshis and a passionate advocate for our community, I witness firsthand the invaluable impact, unmatched support, and genuine care that Sqoshis provides. Sqoshis offers not just services, but truly meaningful engagement that transcends monetary value and profit margins. They connect us, help us, and stand by us during our times of need.

Are you aware we let local community projects use our premises without charge? That local young people use our space for lessons again free of charge? We absorb additional cost to put on events for the community and charge a minimum, these costs are not community funded, we have NEVER asked for or received funding from local or district councils. We open our doors at a low cost and sometimes even free to help everyone. We have created a space where local young people come in and ask for help and assistance. We will always help our community if we can. So please help us! 

Recently, Sqoshis has been facing unprecedented challenges, threatening their very existence and the wonderful services they offer. This is not just a playcentre; it's a lifeline for many in our community a safe space where help is provided. Individuals and families have come to rely on the compassionate assistance that Sqoshis provides, which ranges from essential resources, to a place to play within everyone’s budgets.

To ensure that our community continues to thrive with the assistance of Sqoshis, we must take a stand to protect our sqoshis. With your help, we can rally together to secure the future of Sqoshis, ensuring that it can continue to offer its invaluable services to all those who depend on it. 

We are calling upon community leaders, local government representatives, and every supporter of community services to come together and act swiftly. We need immediate action to secure funding, provide necessary resources, and ensure the sustainability of Sqoshis. This is our chance to show our appreciation and preserve the essence of our community.

Let us join together in this mission to "Save Our Sqoshis," so that they may continue to nurture, support, and enrich our lives. By signing this petition, you're not just adding your name - you're amplifying a message of hope, resilience, and community solidarity. Join us in this vital cause and make a difference today.
