Whoop, 130 people have pledged since fundraising began!
CONGRATULATIONS! We have surpassed our target! Without everyone working together we simply couldn’t make our map. This is a wonderful example of how much we can achieve when we all work together for a common goal. We’re now overfunding to drive forward our ambitious Affordable Workspace Manifesto which we can also bring to reality through collective action. There’s still time to join for a spot on the map! Small businesses and self-employed people have until midnight tonight to pledge membership and be listed on the new edition of East End Independents. In the next few hours, we’ll be working with Herb Lester to pull together all the addresses so Adam Dant can start work tomorrow. Herb Lester will be in touch soon to make sure your listings information are correct, so keep an eye out for your emails. Each member will receive a box of 100 maps to distribute on 1st December so we can all intensify our visibility on Small Business Saturday, encouraging locals and visitors to spend their money easterly for quality, distinctiveness and character!
