  Without SOBO Beach, we would not have been able to hold our Sleep Out events, and would not have raised the £ 18,919 for Centrepoint. Lets keep this going!

  I visit Southbourne regularly and visit SOBO. Nothing compares to sitting upstairs on a bus after a swim. Please keep this special place running.

  SOBO beach is an incredibly important venue for so many people but especially the veterans. BCP please defer until you can make a properly informed vote, after you have met with, listened to and spent time with the groups you will impact.

  I regularly walk to Sobo beach with local friends and stop for a drink. I often attend workshops on the upper deck I sometimes swim there and enjoy a hot drink to warm up afterwards Sobo beach is a wonderful experience right on the shore with amazing views and great vibes for locals all year round and for visitors in the summer months

  It is a lovely meeting point with affordable food and drink during summer and more importantly winter. It has good quality choices, amazing events and the best community around

  Simply put nothing like this around and is run extremely well catering for lots of people. They must be allowed to carry on with the fantastic job they are doing. SOBO really makes a difference.

  Our whole family loves SOBO Beach, with so many memories made. Morning swims with a sausage bap and coffee on the beach, an evening beer while watching the kids kick a football around together on the beach, a little refuge after a wintery walk along the seafront, taking our elderly aunt for a tea and a pastry so she can enjoy the beach . SOBO Beach brings us together as a family and we have brought so many people down to enjoy it too. It will leave a huge hole if it’s closed.

  It would be a shame to lose a place that means so much to so many. It’s a lovely place and the people should be heard!

  This is our meet up point when we all gather from all over the UK. And also it’s a heart of a community of good people that love the area and love the beach.

  One of the reasons we moved to the area! Great venue, clean, fun and non offensive. Serves the community well and nice for my young adult (kids) to meet people and socialise.

  It's a great community cafe, well used and loved by locals and also supporting charitable groups. It also supports small local businesses, such as Delicious Cakes & Bakes.

  It's as much a community hub and not just a cafe!

  It a great place where people go to connect with each other and enjoy music as an outlet. T has a real sense of community at a time when the world is crazy. It’s really helped my mental health being able to go there.
