The future of the Livesey Memorial Hall & Sports Grounds is under threat — and we need your help.

This historic community space in Bell Green, immediately adjacent to SE23, has served local people for over 100 years. The current operators lease the Hall itself, and the bowls green and pavilion (currently a boxing club). The new landowner wants to build tall blocks of flats on the rest of the sports grounds—despite their protected status.

Lewisham Council allowed this Asset of Community Value to be sold it off without notification, as required by law.
The listed buildings are crumbling. Our leisure centre is closed. If this goes ahead, we lose vital space for sport, events, and connection.

We’re raising funds for legal action, community outreach, and to form a Community Benefit Society to take back control.

Help us fight back. Donate now. Protect our community’s future.
