The 5th Putney Sea Scouts are literally aiming to fix the roof while the sun shines by launching a fundraising appeal.

They urgently need to raise money to replace the roof at their base on Putney Embankment.

The roof was damaged be a tree falling onto the roof and, although the initial damage was eventually repaired, water has caused structural and electrical damage which requires further work.

A crowdfunding page has been set up with a target of £10,000 with donations large and small very much appreciated.

5th Putney Sea Scouts has been part of the local community for over 80 years, promoting the development of young people through a programme of adventurous and challenging activities in a friendly and safe environment.

Its volunteers run Beavers, Cubs and Scouts for young people.

We've always done that and won't be changing, in fact we'd like to do more.

However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do.

We are therefore asking our readers to consider offering financial support to these efforts. Any money given will help support community and public interest news and the expansion of our coverage in this area.
