Save Meridian Sports and Social Club - A community lifeline

Hello,

I'm reaching out with an urgent and heartfelt plea to save our beloved Meridian Sports and Social Club. For years, Meridian has been more than just a venue; it’s been the beating heart of our community, bringing people together, breaking barriers, and providing a safe and inclusive space for all.

Now, we’re facing an existential crisis. Financial difficulties have put the future of our club in jeopardy, and we need your help to keep our doors open.

Why Meridian Matters

• For Grassroots Football:

Meridian isn’t just a sports club; it’s where dreams are born and nurtured. Children and adults from all walks of life come here to play, learn, and grow. Losing the club would rob them of the opportunity to engage in grassroots football, which serves as a foundation for fitness, friendship, and community spirit.

• For Faith and Reflection:

Our club is home to a local church that uses the space for prayer and worship. It’s a sanctuary where people find solace, strength, and connection. Without Meridian, this vital part of our community would be displaced.

• For Inclusion and Support:

Meridian stands as a beacon of inclusivity. It’s a place where the disabled and neurodivergent communities find the help and support they need to thrive. Losing this safe haven would leave many without the essential resources they depend on.

A Call to Action

This is about more than just saving a building. It’s about preserving a legacy, a community, and a lifeline for countless individuals and families. We cannot do this alone we need your help.

Here’s how you can make a difference:

1. Donate: Every contribution, big or small, takes us one step closer to securing Meridian’s future.

2. Spread the Word: Share our story far and wide. The more people who know about our plight, the better our chances of rallying the support we need.

3. Get Involved: Have ideas, resources, or time to offer? We welcome any and all assistance. Reach out to us.

Time is Running Out

This is a matter of urgency. Without immediate support, we risk losing the club forever, and with it, the lifeline it provides to so many. Together, we can prevent this and ensure that Meridian continues to be a place where our community can thrive.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support. Let’s come together to save Meridian Sports and Social Club.
