We managed to raise a grand total of £1,711.55 (after Spacehive platform and transaction fees) for our first project delivery. We've adapted our original plans to reflect this amount, which will be used for: + Weekly fully subsidised chair yoga sessions over 13 weeks + Weekly fully subsidised yoga to support mental health sessions over 13 weeks + Venue hire for the above on a cost price, hourly basis + Admin costs for ongoing project delivery + 12 Foldable chairs to be used exclusively for the chair yoga sessions + Flyers/posters to advertise the above sessions Sessions will start the W/C Mon 15th Sept as part of the Marches Movement Studio opening week, and continue in line with the Marches Movement Studio Autumn and late Autumn term timetables. Please send us an email: [email protected] if you'd like to be added to the mailing list to be the first to know when the timetable is live and classes are bookable - we're working hard behind the scenes to make this happen in the next couple of weeks. You are also very warmly invited to SAVE THE DATE for the Marches Movement Opening party which will be on Sunday 21st September ~ there will be taster yoga and meditation classes and more ~ details to come soon. A huge, heartfelt thank you to all of you for helping make this happen - we believe everybody who wants to access holistic health practices should be able to, regardless of income or background because we know first hand what a lifeline they can be and the positive changes they can create. We're very grateful to be able to offer these fully subsidised first classes for our local community and can't wait to see how they're received and what is in store next for our community projects.
Whoop, 60 people have pledged since fundraising began!
This project was born from a simple belief: everyone should have access to uplifting, affordable wellbeing sessions right here in our community. We were hoping for council funding to help make it happen, which is why we chose this crowdfunding platform. But after raising concerns about the cost of equipment and me (as a CIC director) delivering the sessions, they’ve decided not to support us — even though: ~ We removed all equipment costs (we’ll provide it ourselves and take on the cost) ~ My delivery role is separate from my director duties ~ Every penny raised goes directly into subsidising community sessions, with no profit being made It’s frustrating and disheartening… but we’re not giving up. 💛 With your help, we can still bring this to life. Every pound you pledge will go directly towards delivering the sessions our community needs and deserves - we have until 18th August, let's spread the word.
A huge thank you to everyone who joined our crowdfunding event at Gather last Saturday - we raised a total of £140 towards our campaign from the outdoor yoga + indoor sound bath session and are also going to receive the proceeds of the coffee bar from Gather. An especially big thank you to Gather for all of your support + generosity.
