STORY SO FAR

Merseyfest has carried out many projects and launched numerous events since it was founded in 2002. All of the projects & events we have carried out have been hugely successful and we believe we have changed peoples lives along the way. Some of our Projects / Events can be see below.

Pilot Project 2004

The Project took place in Sefton in August 2004 when 17 projects took place over a three day period. The three days culminated in a celebratory gig when Yfriday, Supervision and bandwithnoname were the headline acts. Notable projects took place at Victoria Park, Crosby, The Jospice in Thornton and in Bootle when the problem of debt was tackled using a Christian Debt Counselling service. This has led to a Credit Union being established supported by Northfield Church.

Kilimanjaro Challenge 2005/06

Merseyfest has inspired 2 groups of climbers to walk up Africa’s highest mountain not once but twice. Phil Pawley has led 2 groups of walkers up the mountain and raised in excess of £100,000 for Merseyfest. Equatorial rain forest, snow, altitude sickness and one or two blisters are all par for the course for the 5895m climb!!!
