Of the £140,000 returned to donors after the Save Rivoli Cinema campaign failed to reach the asking price for the former cinema (still unsold 8 months later), £3,500 has been donated to good causes around Sandown.
A campaign to save a vintage cinema in Sandown was spearheaded by founder of the Isle of Wight Film Festival, Bruce Webb in October 2013.
A whopping £140,000 was raised by the campaign but not enough to secure the purchase of the cinema, which went on to be demolished and housing built on the site.
Below are articles on which the campaign was mentioned.
