On Sunday 5th May, as they do ever Sunday, YMCA volunteers Ken and Barbara Rouse opened up the YMCA building on Park Street, Bootle. They discovered that in the early hours a burglary had taken place, with extensive damage to doors, locks, filing cabinets and theft of alcohol from the small community bar.
Ken and Barbara work tirelessly to keep the building running for the various community groups that use it such as the scouts and Bootle Action Group. They are both volunteers who saved this building from closure some years ago. They and the community groups that keep this vital amenity running did not deserve this.
Please consider donating towards the repairs and replacements that will no doubt affect the finances.
Thank you.
