Raise the Roof for Neston - First fundraising initiative
The first initiative under our Love Neston fundraising campaign is to raise £240,122 to carry out vital repairs at Neston Civic Hall.
Neston Civic Hall is owned by Cheshire West and Chester Council, in 2021 NCYC took over the operation of the building, bringing a much loved community asset back to life having been closed for almost two years.
Since reopening we have seen many organisations and groups return to use the hall for their activities and events however we are continually facing maintenance issues as the roof remains unsuitable and leaks regularly, the running costs of the building are also high due to outdated heating systems and lack of insulation.
The target of £240,122 would enable us to carry out repair work to the roof, including insulation, install effective heating and ventilation systems and improve on security systems in the building.

We hope to raise the funds in 3 ways:
-
NCYC have asked Neston Town Council to make a special grant of £60,000 as a contribution to the fundraising campaign
-
Fundraising - We have a justgiving page and NCYC will be running a schedule of events over the next 12 months, revenue raised at these events will go into the fundraising pot
-
Capital Grants - NCYC will apply to capital funders
