Applecart Arts, the community arts centre in the heart of Newham is facing closure unless it can raise £100,000 by Christmas.

Based in the Passmore Edwards Building, a former Victorian library and registry office in the corner of Plashet Park, the centre is home to a theatre, art studios and a community cafe which are constantly in use by a variety of people and groups, from artists to mothers and babies.
