A drama school in Reading has warned that it will be forced to close by the end of the year if it cannot raise sufficient funds within the next 10 days.
In a statement published on its website, READ College, which has been operating for 15 years, said it is in financial trouble "due to the relentless cost-of-living crisis, our continuous recovery from Covid and the loss of our ability to host international students".
"READ College is facing a critical time," the statement said.
"We have seen businesses and colleges close around us due to the rise in the cost of living and soaring energy prices, the nation is struggling and we now find ourselves in an unsustainable financial position."
It said that if sufficient funds are not raised by 12 December there will be "no choice but to close our doors at the end of this term".
It has launched a #SaveREADCollege campaign and is asking people to donate online.
