Whitehaven heritage centre seeks help after Storm Boelo roof damage

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 27 Oct, 13:32 · Archive

Storm Boelo has dislodged roof slates at Haig Colliery Heritage Centre in Whitehaven.

Storm Boelo has damaged the roof of Haig Colliery Heritage Centre in Whitehaven, dislodging multiple slates around the vents as a result of strong winds at the weekend. The centre said in a Facebook post that the damage is 'disheartening' because roof repairs were recently completed at the heritage site.

The community-driven centre is appealing to the public for help with the unexpected repairs. It is looking for scaffolding companies willing to provide support with access to the roof, and for a joiner or roofer able to help with the repairs themselves. The centre is also asking for information about any organisations that support social value or heritage projects and might be able to assist.

Anyone willing to donate or who can provide the information the centre needs is encouraged to email info@haigcolliery.co.uk. The centre is considering launching a GoFundMe campaign to help fund the work.
