Vera at Floriography and her team have set up a crowdfunder to raise money to purchase the buildings 142-144 of the Totterdown Centre. To quote from their page:
On 27th February 2018, a large part of Totterdown Centre building is being sold at Auction to the highest bidder. The part for auction includes the two prominent shop fronts at 142-144 Wells Road. These spaces are directly connected to the spaces occupied by Bristol Women’s Workshop, Floriography and The Healing Courtyard (142-144 rear and first floor) .
We are extremely concerned about the auction, as we have no influence, no guarantee and no protection around who buys it, and for what purpose they intend. This part of the building comes with nearly a quarter of the share total of the whole Totterdown Centre company (138-144), and depending on what kind of developer they are they will likely have power of money to achieve their aims; which could, in the worst case, lead to the total loss of the whole building and the people within it being forced out.
