Fundraiser to save the festival #20years
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Ian and I am fundraising to help save the Nice 'n' Sleazy punk festival which has been running in Morecambe for 20 years now, but it has now been put under threat as the local town council have now decided not to award the funding which was originally awarded 12 months ago.
It is only my 3rd year doing this festival and I have absolutely loved being a part of it and helping the organisers put a great event on.
It's massively heart breaking to see the stress that this has put on the festival organisers.
Ivan Harrison and Samantha Harrison have worked tirelessly over the last 20 years to make sure that the festival is a success year on year.
The festival is a fully loaded mix of old established bands along with the young up and coming bands playing across three stages that makes up the Nice n Sleazy sub cultural festival with a bit of comedy thrown in for good measure.
It is a non profit festival which is run by volunteers and the festival also supports the following organisations every year.
The Sophie Lancaster foundation
Morecambe food bank
The White ribbon charity
We also work alongside SORM (school of rock and media) who are a music media school for children with disabilities and we offer their students opportunities for work experience.
The Funds will be used for
- Welfare facilities
- hiring of equipment
- sound and light
- bands
- security
We would like YOU to be a part of US by making a small donation or to offer any kind of contribution to ensure the event is as successful as previous years.
LETS KEEP MORECAMBE'S LONGEST RUNNING FESTIVAL ON THE MAP.
MANY THANKS
