As you may be aware, NCYC applied to the Community Ownership Fund to fund vital roof and heating repairs at Neston Civic Hall. Unfortunately, despite 2 applications, we have not been successful.
We want to reassure the community that, whilst this is a disappointing outcome, we are working hard to find a way to ensure that NCYC can continue to operate Neston Civic Hall. We are currently subsidising the running costs of the building as the income is not sufficient to meet the cost of operation and we are using the funds raised through our Crowdfund campaign to fund essential maintenance and repair tasks.
We want to make sure that we are transparent about the difficulties we face in keeping this much-loved community asset operational and we need to know what you think about the future of NCYC’s involvement in the running of Neston Civic Hall. Therefore, we would like to invite you to an open meeting at Neston Civic Hall on Thursday 18th April at 5pm. We will update you on the current situation and ask you for your comments and thoughts.
If you have been into the Civic recently, you will have seen the work already carried out by our wonderful group of volunteers. With a lick of paint, the Civic is looking fresher and more presentable. The group are continuing to work on smaller repair jobs to ensure the Civic Hall is a welcoming place that meets the needs of its users. This shows what a community like ours can achieve when we work together.
We hope to see you there!
Thank you for your ongoing support.
