Friends of the Broadway Ltd. is a charity dedicated to restoring and reopening the iconic Broadway Cinema for community use. After 12 years of effort and 5 years since incorporation, we successfully brought the cinema into community ownership this year. Our mission is to preserve this historic asset, making it a hub for culture and local engagement. Through a mix of volunteer efforts (over 5000 hours donated) and strategic funding, we’ve begun essential restoration and organisational development. Our focus is to secure further funding, engage the community, and turn this disused building into a vibrant, community-driven space.
