Vandalism repairs to The Killie Community Hub
Kilmarnock, East Ayrshire Council, United Kingdom
Aim
To raise the funds needed, following the damage caused by the theft, to re-fit the plumbing for the heating at The Killie Community Hub
On our return from New Year, we arrived at The Killie Community Hub to some really sad news.
Over recent months, we’ve been installing renewable energy technologies at the Hub - a long-term investment to reduce running costs and keep this space open for local people.
Sadly, we discovered that external copper piping has been ripped out and stolen. The damage means the building can’t safely operate while repairs are assessed.
As a result, all programmes based at the Hub for the forseeable are cancelled. All other Killie Community programmes at venues across Ayrshire are continuing as normal.
This is incredibly disappointing, not just for us, but for the young people, families, and older members of the community who rely on the Hub each week. This building exists for the community, and seeing it vandalised like this is hard.
We’re sharing this openly to raise awareness of the reality faced by local charities and community spaces, and to look for support to fix this.
We're looking to reinstall the plumbing underground so that it is more protected, and to install protective measures around the air source heat pump and pipework to deter similar acts.
If you or your organisation may be able to help in any other way, please email [email protected]
We’re working hard to get the Hub back open as quickly and safely as possible. Thank you to everyone who has already reached out with messages of support, it really does mean a lot.
