More than £4,000 raised in bid to reopen Light House
Struggling independent cinema Light House has now raised more than £4,000 in a bid to help it reopen.
Light House in the centre of Wolverhampton has not reopened – or set a date to reopen – after lockdown, despite other cinemas reopening.
It comes after the launch of a £10,000 fundraiser called, Help Us Switch The Lights Back On, earlier this week to cover costs associated with making the city venue in the Fryer Street, Covid-safe.
But now it has raised more than £4,000 on the platform, with the cinema thanking its supporters for their help.
Bosses have said it's an "amazing start".
The charity has been working with local business EnPro Group to investigate what is required for keeping its auditoriums and social spaces Covid-secure.
The independent cinema, based in the Chubb Buildings, has been closed since lockdown began in March.
