Story
Six and a half years ago the community of Ormskirk nearly lost one of its most treasured assets. Ormskirk Civic Hall had been the heart of our community since 1899 and in 2016 the new Directors brought our community together to save The Civic. Once again it became a hive of activity and an integral part of our town providing opportunities for the arts, sports, special events and much more.
Then Covid hit and we were worried we might not make it through. But we did. We survived to tell the tale and were looking forward to a bright future.
Little did we know that we were about to hit a second hurdle in the form of a financial crisis.
We are acutely aware that this impacts every member of our community and as such events are being cancelled last minute, our costs are rising rapidly and if we don't respond to this quickly then our future might not be as bright. It now costs roughly £5000 per month to run the building, compared to £2500 per month in 2016!
So we are asking, once again, for your help. If any of our supporters are in a position to donate, whether it be a few pounds or more, you will be helping us to save this amazing community asset for the future generations.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
The Civvies
