A charity which has run after-school clubs and wekend activities for disabled young people is looking for a new home after the closure of the Causeway Centre.
Fran O’Brien, who founded YADAPA (Young and Disabled and Positively Artistic) six years ago, said: “Everything is sort of on hold at the moment until we find a new home.
“We desperately need room and an accessible loo that we can keep open all the time.”
Specialist equipment, including a machine which can paint onto a giant screen at the blink of an eye, has been stored away until the charity finds a new home.
The club has one of only two £4,000 Nintendo Wii-style specialist machines in the country and another which creates a sensory music experience.
A shop front in New Malden, perhaps owned by the council or let by a business person on a cheap basis, would be ideal, she said.
The Causeway Centre at the Cocks Centre site in New Malden is due to close this month.
