The VCSA is excited to support the introduction of Crowdfund Shropshire - an exciting new community fundraising programme to bring the people of Shropshire together and create more opportunities for people in the local area to get involved in their communities.
Shropshire Council, through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, has £150,000 available to pledge to local crowdfunding projects which help create healthy people, a healthy economy, a healthy environment and a healthy organisation. These projects will be crowdfunded via Spacehive, their digital funding platform partner.
The event will be led by Nicola Daniels, Joint Chair of Shropshire VCS Assembly with Julie Mellor. Nicola will be joined by others, including the Shropshire Infrastructure Partnership Community Development Team, the Leader of the Council, Lezley Picton, and the Spacehive team.
Voluntary and community sector groups and organisations, town and parish councils, local businesses, and public sector contacts among other stakeholders will be welcomed at this launch event.
Please promote this crowdfunding opportunity to your networks and support locally-led projects that matter to communities.
This briefing session will cover:
- How crowdfunding works for communities
- How you can access funds provided through Crowdfund Shropshire
- How to share the opportunity with your networks
- How to get involved and the key dates to be aware of
There will also be interactive breakout rooms to access specialised support for your project.
Light refreshments will be served.
Please register your attendance and select how you plan to attend the briefing.
If you have any questions about the event or accessibility requirements, please email support@spacehive.com.
