Save Our Sound: Help Us Raise £15,000 to Restore Clear Sound at Liverpool Cathedral
At Liverpool Cathedral, our mission is to serve our community through worship, music, and events. But today, we need your help more than ever. Our sound system has failed, leaving us unable to deliver clear audio for our services.
Last Autumn we raised a significant portion of the funds needed to rejuvenate the system, but the failure of the sound system means we must raise the final £15,000 to restore high-quality sound to our magnificent building.
It’s an SOS – save our sound!
Why Is This So Urgent?
Our ageing sound system has reached the end of its life. With the failure of the soundboard, the entire system is now unusable.
This impacts:
• Worship Services: Including the 10:30 Sunday Service and the hearing loop, which many in our community rely on.
• Events and Concerts: From choir performances to community lectures, the sound quality is critical to the success of these activities.
• Inclusivity: Without a functioning system, those using hearing aids and others with accessibility needs are unable to fully participate.
This is why we need to act now. By raising the final £15,000, we can complete all phases of the project at once, saving costs and ensuring the Cathedral is equipped with a state-of-the-art sound system. We are also working with our suppliers to expedite the installation, moving it forward from the summer to as soon as possible.
What’s the impact now?
Most services will be moved to the Lady Chapel, which offers better acoustics under the current circumstances. However, the 10:30 Sunday Service will be impacted, and we appreciate your understanding as we implement creative workarounds.
When will the works be delivered?
We had originally planned for the works to be completed in summer, we are currently speaking with suppliers about temporary solutions, and the ability to bring forward the planned works.
How Can You Help?
We need to raise the final £15,000 to complete the sound system project, which will cost £180,000 in total. Every donation, no matter the size, will help us bring clear sound back to our congregation and visitors.
