The Nepal Earthquake |
Thanks to the support of our cinemagoers, Biggar Little Cinema is funding a Rotary Shelter Box which is being sent to Nepal to help provide shelter to the hundreds of thousands of people who have been sleeping on the streets, despite the plummeting temperatures and thunderstorms. The Shelter Box idea was conceived by a Rotarian who had seen at first hand the results of natural disasters in many parts of the world. Each box contains a range of contents, typically a disaster relief tent for a family of up to 12 people, thermal blankets and groundsheets, water storage and purification equipment, solar lamps, cooking utensils, a basic tool kit, mosquito nets and a children’s activity pack. The contents of each box vary according to the type of emergency and the area into which they are being sent. For colder countries, the box includes more blankets and groundsheets and a thermal liner that fits between the inner and outer layers of the tent retaining more heat. The principle is to deliver the essentials to people who have been made homeless and need to begin rebuilding their lives in the aftermath of a disaster. The pictures on the right show a Shelter Box and a set of typical contents. Some pictures of Shelter Boxes being transported and used in various parts of the world may be seen by clicking here. We are very grateful indeed to all our members and supporters. Without you, we would not have been able to assist those affected by this disaster. |

About Us
Biggar Little Cinema was founded in February 2011, and is run as a community cinema on a non-profit basis.
As a not-for-profit organisation, our aim is to disburse all the surplus from our screenings as charitable donations, to local organisations and Rotary projects. So far, with your help, we have raised almost £12,000.
We also aim to provide the opportunity for members of an isolated rural community to enjoy good films without having to make a round trip of 60 miles or more to the commercial cinema.
Our films are shown in high-resolution digital quality, and projected using the latest digital equipment on to a full-size cinema screen. To match the exceptional quality of our picture, our sound is Dolby stereo using high definition loudspeakers. The Corn Exchange is well-known as an excellent venue, with very comfortable cinema-style seating and a cosy atmosphere. A full bar is available both before and after each screening, with a lounge area for relaxing and chatting with friends. All in all, Biggar Little Cinema offers a perfect location - and all proceeds go to support local organisations and Rotary projects.
