The first initiative under our Love Neston fundraising campaign is to raise money 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issues as the roof remains unsuitable and leaks regularly, the running costs of the building are also high due to outdated heating systems and lack of insulation. We have a fantastic group of volunteers who work tirelessly carrying out smaller repairs and improving the internal appearance of this much loved community asset but to ensure the future of this historic building we need to carry out vital repairs.

NCYC are currently operating Neston Civic Hall temporarily whilst discussing the conditions for a community asset transfer with the local authority. This fundraising campaign, initially started with the target of £240,122 to enable us to carry out repair work to the roof and heating system, is now focusing on raising as much funds as possible which will be used as match funding when applying to capital funders. Funds raised will also be used to contribute to vital repair work needed to ensure the building remains safe and operational and continuous improvements can be made to increase its capacity for use.
