A great venue, so cool serving great coffee, drinks and food with excellent playlist music creating a relaxing atmosphere. Come on BCP get something right for a change and extend the lease. If it ain’t broke don’t change it.

It has a great community feel to it. I love stopping off on my walk to Hangistbury Head, and so does my dog.

We found SoBo Beach a few years ago completely accidentally when down on holiday and fell in love with the place then. Now finding out what SoBo does for the community makes us love it even more and the council should too. To lose such a community minded and community led group of people would be a shameful act by the council. The council can’t afford to fund all the good projects SoBo do, you should be working with them not against them. SOBO Beach deserves to stay, please let them.

Nice Vibe. Different and exactly what’s needed at that location
A supporter in Verwood · signed 2 days ago
I love the community that SOBO Beach has created and I would not want the venue to sit empty for an extended amount of time. We deserve to have high quality spaces in our community.

It’s a place for my children to meet and play with friends and other children and feel a sense of community.
A supporter in Christchurch · signed 2 days ago
I live locally and it is an important place for my family, friends and I to meet, socialise and relax. It is welcoming to all and has a laid back approach that suits the local community.
