A group are turning to the internet to raise funds for a new community hub in a disused Plumstead building.

Using a site on the High Street, the project aims to offer a healthy living café and room for things like counselling, youth services, community groups and businesses.

Plumstead Hub is being organised by a not-for-profit group who have spent a year on consultations and will try to negotiate a long-term lease on the building.

They have now turned to crowdfunding site Spacehive to drum up finances for the project.

In an announcement on their website, the group said: "Our previous High Street community hall was demolished several years ago but the need to have a meeting space where all sections of our community can come together has not gone away. 

"We are a diverse community in an area of deprivation but we are creative and entrepreneurial. We will work in partnership with local businesses, agencies and organisations to encourage locals to engage, learn, rest and play."
