Church Riverside Scout Hut Rebuild

However you got here, thank you for visiting this page, please see below for some more information:

On 23rd September 2024, due to heavy storms, Clipstone Brook burst its banks and flooded Church Riverside Scout hut.

The wooden structure sustained significant damage, estimated at around £120,000. A complete rebuild, projected to cost £250,000, is the only viable option to ensure the hut remains a vital part of the local scouting community for generations to come. This is also the only way to ensure it could be insured against flooding in future.

After careful consideration of feedback from the Scout Association, loss adjusters, builders, and current members, trustees have agreed to pursue a full rebuild. While our insurance will cover a portion of the cost, additional funds will need to be raised locally to make this project a reality. We have already had a GoFundMe page running that has reached a fantastic £1,550 but with the launch of more fundraising activities, it's the right time to get a new one running which is set up slightly differently.

Our target is to rebuild our hut to provide a base for scouting for future generations. Any help you can give will be gratefully received and go towards providing a versatile facility that will not only benefit the group but also the local community.
