What We Fund

Donations

STRA is the recipient of funds from the Southwark Film Office. When filming takes place in the area, STRA regularly receives a voluntary donation. These funds are then used for the benefit of the local community, according to the STRA Constitution and the Southwark Film Office guidelines.

To date we have made donations to:

Cleaner Shad Thames project

In March 2019 STRA was again awarded funding from Southwark Council's Bermondsey and Rotherhithe Neighbourhoods Fund 2019/20 for the Cleaner Shad Thames project. This provides additional daily cleaning in specific locations, with focus on the area around Tower Bridge, and the areas below:

· Shad Thames junction of Lafone Street, Pizza Express

· Outside 59 Lafone Street by Virtus

· Maguire Street, the Clove Building

· Horselydown Lane, Anchor Tap public house

· Lafone Street junction Gainsford Street, Dean Swift public house

· Queen Elizabeth Street outside Circle food store

· Queen Elizabeth Street outside Olive food store

This additional clean has made a noticeable difference.
