Donations to The Civic in Barnsley will be doubled

The Civic is asking supporters to take advantage of a one-off initiative from Localgiving. From 10am till midnight, people will be able to see one off donations of up to £25 doubled, to celebrate Fundraising Day on 22 June – part of Small Charity Week 2017.

Helen Ball, CEO of The Civic, said: “It’s a brilliant one day only opportunity to double the impact of your donation and so easy to do.”

Supporters can donate by going to donate page on The Civic, Barnsley website or visiting https://localgiving.org/charity/thecivicbarnsley/

The Civic is an independent arts charity that has launched an ambitious £5m fundraising campaign to regenerate the building to its full glory.

The Civic, which represents the heart of Barnsley, has been part of the town since 1877. While, part of The Civic building has benefited from modernisation, it plans to expand and develop the dilapidated front doors on Eldon Street and open up and utilise the unfinished floors at the centre of the listed building.
