The historic Salford Lads Club, which has nurtured young talent for over a century, is facing closure. With rising costs and reduced funding, the club needs to raise £250,000 by November or it will shut its doors. A fundraising campaign has been launched to save this vital community asset.
It's provided a lifeline for young people from deprived communities for 120 years. But now Salford Lads Club is the one in desperate need of our help. Its survival depends on it.
A fundraiser has been set up to raise the urgent £250,000 needed to save it. Together, we can ensure the club's future. But income from visitors and filmmakers is not enough to fund the huge costs of delivering youth work that provides a lifeline to the community. Behind this world-recognised institution is a community asset on its knees.
The club needs £108,000 to cover the current monthly losses for another six months while it gets initiatives established to generate more funds long term. But a further £55,000 is needed for new staff for six months to do this. It estimates another £98,000 is required to replenish reserves. “Today, that mission is more relevant than ever, as many of the young people we serve face challenges like gang culture, poverty, and lack of opportunity.”
