Help The Rockhouse Survive Corona Virus and Flood
Donation protected
Hi everyone!
We at The Rockhouse are an independent non profit charitable bar & live music venue in Andover, Hampshire. We have provided Live Music in vast quantities for vast amounts of people over the years along with countless charity events, over the years have supported our local scene and Nationally and have kept original music alive in Andover, thousands of bands have played in our venue in the past and we want to be able to continue that long into the future.
The problem is CORONAVIRUS and it threatens the closure of not just us but hundreds of independent live music venues all over the country. We are not a cash rich venue as we are a non-profit venue, the government has promised us £25000 to survive the 12 weeks which makes us £8600 short of our basic needs to stay open, which if we don't find this we may not be able to re-open.
Our weekly outgoings of rent, rates, electric, gas, finance repayments, tax implications, wages are a considerable cost and we would not be able to meet them along with our homeless projects and other charitable work.
We want to be able to keep our staff and be able to reopen when this is over and get back to normal as quickly as possible and that is where we are asking you to help!
Please give what you can, we try really hard to get as many original bands to play this town and want to continue bringing you the best we can for as long as we can.
We also will be organising a big gig for local bands once we get the green light to not only raise money for us but also to raise money for local bands that have lost income as well in these tough times, any donation of ten pound or over will get you a free ticket to that event of which we will give you more information when we can start organising gigs again.
Big love from The Rockhouse Team, stay safe! x
