Help the Phoenix take flight!

The oldest cinema in the UK, the Phoenix Cinema in East Finchley, is in at an exciting time in its history. Fully independent and run by a charitable trust for 21 years, it is one of London’s leading art houses, bringing a wide range of popular, foreign and independent films to North London.

The Phoenix has plans to make enduring improvements to the building, re-energizing this classic centre of cinema history in time for its centenary in 2010

With limited resources to make this happen, the cinema is looking to the local community for volunteers with the expertise it needs.

We are looking for people with experience in:

• Fundraising from commercial sources
• Sponsorship experience
• Marketing expertise

who are willing to devote some of their free time to this exciting, entertaining and historic cause.

Can you help bring about a second screen? A new café/bar? Refurbishment of this magnificent listed building?

Smaller contributions were made by the Chapman Trust and the Mercers Company. Individual donations from Phoenix patrons totalled almost £40,000. And Phoenix Staff raised £500 in sponsorship by running the Carlton London 10k run 2001

If you – or anyone you know - are interested in volunteering for the Phoenix and have the required skills, please contact Chief Executive, Paul Homer on 020 8442 0442
