Help RivelinCo Get Back On Dry Land
Sheffield, South Yorkshire, United Kingdom
First target reached!
Any money we can raise beyond the £3000 target will help loads! Most will be spent ...
Aim: A water pipe burst above our HQ and 75% of our stuff is destroyed. Can you help us get back on our feet?
On Saturday 18th May we received a devastating phone call from our landlord: a water pipe had burst in the flat above our premises and 75% of our office and equipment had been damaged or destroyed.
RivelinCo is an arts and community organisation, based in Hillsborough and serving communities across North Sheffield. We are based in a shop front on Middlewood Road, which was formerly empty for over 20 years. Our small team, alongside artists and volunteers, have spent a year transforming it into an office and creative community hub - and so the news that we'll need to start from scratch again really stings.
Thankfully we have insurance, which covers the costs of replacing most of the technical equipment like our computers and printer, and our landlord has insurance which covers the major works to the floors, ceilings and walls which will be needed. However there are a few things insurance cannot cover, and the works are likely to last several weeks which will incur further costs. We're trying to raise at least £3,000 to help us get everything sorted out.
We are a small not-for-profit organisation and we don't have big reserves, so we really, really need your help. Even a small donation would make a big difference. Thank you so, so much.
