The idea
Neston Civic Hall is a much loved community asset, NCYC Ltd have been operating Neston Civic Hall since 2022 and have faced ongoing repair issues resulting in us having to close the building temporarily on a number of occasions. The roof requires several patch repairs to prevent leaks and ensure we can keep the building open. We have a team of volunteers who are offering to help with small internal repairs and decoration to make the building more appealing for its users.
We are focusing on minor works to keep the building operational ahead of an application for funding for a full refurbishment.
What we'll deliver
- Prompt response and repair to building as issues arise
- Minor decoration to buildings interior
- Reduction in temporary closures as we will have the funds to pay for patch repairs as they become apparent
Why it's a great idea
In a 2022 survey 95% of respondents stated they felt that Neston Civic Hall was essential to our community. Since taking over the operation of Neston Civic Hall we have seen many organisations and clubs return to use the hall and it is also regularly hired for private events and activities. Unfortunately due to ongoing issues with the building we have had to temporarily close on several occasions.
This project would enable us to respond quickly to repairs as they occur, reducing the chances of the building shutting temporarily whilst funds are raised, reduce length of time the hall is closed for whilst fixing repairs and reducing any disruption to its users. This project would enable us to patch repair the roof as leaks occur and carry out some minor internal decoration whilst we work toward a funding application for a full refurbishment
Steps to get it done
- Buy materials such as paint and tools to enable volunteers (already identified) to do minor repairs and decorate
- request local roofing company to provide details on required patch repairs needed
