FAQs

Who will run the pavilion?

The key to a sustainable pavilion is a commercially viable pavilion. Making this happen is a core part of the new design. We’ve already got interest from parties who want to operate the new café. Picking the right partner will be important. That’s why we’re looking for a volunteer Commercial Director who has expertise in hospitality and can lead the selection process. If that’s you, please get in touch.

Who is the ultimate owner of the Pavilion and what happens to the money raised both now and in future?

Richmond Council owns the current structure and will own the new pavilion. As a charity, we’ve negotiated a 25-year lease for the pavilion, which was signed on 25 June 2025. As such, every penny raised, and every penny spent, will be compliant with our objectives as a registered charity (Moormead Community and Sports Pavilion, Registered Charity No 1179951)

What experience does the core pavilion team have to raise the necessary funds?

This is a community effort. It draws on the passion, goodwill and generosity of people who share a desire to see a new modern, inclusive and sustainable Pavilion replace the current derelict eyesore. We are fortunate that within our community we can draw on a core group of volunteers who bring their professional experience in business, commercial fundraising, community engagement, bid writing, marketing and public relations to help co-ordinate and drive this project. If you have skills you feel you can contribute, please do get involved.

What happens if the community doesn't meet the target needed to rebuild the pavilion?

The community is behind this project and we believe we can hit our target.
