Help local Leigh artist - Max Ayres

Leigh Spinners Mill is a cultural community hub in the heart of Leigh in Greater Manchester.

We had planned to showcase the works of local artist Max Ayres in our gallery. Max was enthusiastic about the prospect of exhibiting with us and eagerly anticipated presenting his extensive collection of artwork created over seventy years. Unfortunately, Max became ill and was admitted to hospital. During his hospitalization, a tragic fire swept through his home, resulting in the loss of many of his paintings, and severe fire damage to the remaining pieces.

We at the mill feel so devastated about this accident and would love to raise money to replenish Max's belongings and allow him to do the one thing he loves, painting. We would love for him to regain a sense of normality after having his world turned upside down.
