The Icebox Arts And Music Centre Survival Fund
Donation protected
The Icebox has been hit hard by the recent pandemic, we know a lot of other folk have too, and it's hard to reach out to folk for help (especially since our flood woes last year which you were so great with!) but we feel that every penny counts at this time. We have closed our doors to the public, and at the moment it seems like that could be for some time, but the bills keep coming in.
Over the past year and a half we have done our utmost to help as many other not for profits and charities as we could, we have ran clothes swaps, foodbanks, toybanks, our booksforbairns program, and so much more. The icebox was never, and will never be, about the money. It's a labour of love for our fantastic team, but with no money coming in from events to pay the large overheads we find ourselves very close to closing. We wont allow that to happen, not with so much work still to be done.
Our team will keep striving to stay open, we don't intend to go anywhere if we can help it, but we could do with a little bit of help to stay open. Every penny raised will go to pay the bills for the next 2-3 months, (the staff manning the not for profit side of things will do so voluntarily) anything above and beyond that amount will go right to buying food for the foodbanks we have worked with in the past, hell, we intend to keep doing our foodbank runs right up until they tell us we need to stay at home ourselves!
Then, when all this is over and we start building again, we intend to have the biggest bloody party for all the donaters. On us. So think of each small donation as a ticket to a future gig with us, and thank ypou for the bottom of our hearts if you manage to donate!
Remember to stay safe throughout this, and wash yo damn hands!
