“When we opened those doors at Ashley Road for the first time, we never could have anticipated how our story would develop,” it continued.
“Multiple spaces, pop ups, a festival and endless ups, downs, twists and turns later, we’re still here.
“Five years in, the story so far has given us much to celebrate.
“We’ll be making a lot of noise and marking this milestone in a big big way and we can’t wait to fill you in with what’s in store.”
After The Cause’s original home on Ashley Road closed on January 1 2022, since July it has been hosting parties at 60 Dock Road in Silvertown, East London.
