Join us for this screening of Bill Forsyth's "Local Hero "raising funds to buy a community share in Two Up Two Down's exciting future

Join Anfield People's Cinema for this special screening of Local Hero (1983) in collaboration with Two Up Two Down CLT (https://twouptwodown.org.uk/) raising funds to buy a share in their community share offer.

Local Hero follows the story of an American oil company sending a man to Scotland to buy up an entire village where they want to build a refinery. But things don’t go as expected.

Two Up Two Down CLT Community Share Offer:

Good quality, affordable housing is a global issue, but here in Anfield and Everton, we have a specific set of challenges. While many properties in our neighbourhood sit empty and in disrepair, we are losing family homes: the combination of low property values and our proximity to Liverpool Football Club means a developer can snap up a house and make more money from an Airbnb on match days than renting to a family.

We don’t accept this and are focused on showing a viable alternative – another way of doing things where we set our own bar.

For our community to take matters into our own hands and build a better future for ourselves: brick by brick, pound by pound.

The community share offer will raise capital that the CLT will use to revalitize 108 Thirlmere Road, a property once a family home that has been sat empty for over 12 months. The home will be a warm and affordable home. As with everything we own, it will be held in trust for the community permanently.

Anfield People’s Cinema is a volunteer-run film club which hosts free-to-attend cinema events in venues across our area of Anfield and surrounding neighbourhoods. Our goal is to make bring people together to enjoy and celebrate the magic of films on a big screen.

As with all our screenings there will be a free hot meal for all attendees provided upon arrival as well as a range of refreshements throughout the evening.

This screening is free to attend donations will be accepted at the end of the evening all contributing towards the CLT's Share Offer.
