The friends of Matthews Yard is an unincorporated non-trading body who have come together to provide additional support to Matthews Yard to find viable solutions to the significant challenges which it faces in the weeks and months ahead.
The core aims of the Friends of Matthews Yard are:
1) To nominate the building at 5-9 Surrey Street as an Asset of Community Value
2) To help Matthews Yard secure funding and support to transition from a company limited by shares to a non-profit CIC
3) To help Matthews Yard lobby for financial support and assistance from local and regional government
While the friends of Matthews Yard will promote opportunities to support Matthews Yard financially, it will not collect any funds directly and any donations or other financial transactions will take place between Matthews Yard Croydon Limited and any donor or customer.

New Matthews Yard!
We closed in our current location on 9th Feb 2020. We have now found a new premises in West Croydon and are trying to raise money towards the £50,000 cost of relocating.
If everyone who has benefited from Matthews Yard over the years donated just £3, we would be able to fund our new premises 10 times over.
