Save Woolley Miners Welfare: Repair Our Storm-Damaged Roof

Who Are We?

Woolley Miners Welfare has been at the heart of our community for generations. It’s more than just a building it’s a space where people come together, from local sports teams and fitness groups to social clubs, community events, and heritage projects. We’re a place for connection, support, and celebration.

Why Are We Crowdfunding?

Recent storms have caused severe damage to our roof, leading to leaks that threaten the future of this essential community space. Without urgent repairs, the welfare risks closure, meaning local sports teams, social groups, and heritage projects could lose their home.

We need your help to fix the roof and protect Woolley Miners Welfare for future generations.

How We’ll Spend the Money Raised

We are aiming to raise £15,000 to cover the costs of essential roof repairs, ensuring the building remains safe and operational.

Budget Breakdown:
🔹 Materials & Labour:
🔹 Structural Reinforcement:
🔹 Weatherproofing & Insulation:

Any extra funds raised will go towards improving other facilities at the welfare to make it even more accessible and welcoming for the community.

Community Impact

Woolley Miners Welfare is more than just a venue—it’s a lifeline for many. The welfare supports:

✔️ Local sports teams – football, cricket, and fitness groups
✔️ Community events & social clubs – bringing people together for good causes
✔️ Heritage projects – preserving the history of our mining community
✔️ Health & well-being programs – promoting physical and mental health

Losing this space would have a huge impact on hundreds of people who rely on it.
