Julie Lawson
Community Events CIC
ABOUT US
Julie Lawson Community Events has been a cornerstone of fundraising in Crosby, Formby, and Merseyside since 2005. Founded by Julie Lawson BEM DL, the organisation started with events like karaoke nights and BBQs, growing into a series of successful, music-themed fundraisers.
​
Julie’s monthly events at the Greek Taverna in Waterloo are hugely popular, often selling out in days. Gala Balls, including those at the Cunard Building, are highlights of the social calendar. Each event features local artists and creates a fun, uplifting atmosphere, all while supporting charitable causes. Julie’s commitment to her community has made her events a key part of local fundraising efforts.
Our Events
Community events play a crucial role in funding vital projects that support local needs. By bringing people together for enjoyable and engaging experiences, these events create opportunities to raise much-needed funds for charities and initiatives that make a real difference.
The money raised helps support everything from community outreach programs and local healthcare services to educational initiatives and environmental projects. Through these events, individuals not only have fun but also contribute to creating a stronger, more resilient community where positive change can thrive.
