We've hit our target! One more week to raise funds and end digital exclusion in Wolverhampton!6 years ago

We're delighted to hit our crowdfunding target with an excellent £5k pledge from Wolverhampton Voluntary Sector Council. Reaching our fundraising goal has enabled us to support organisations working to end digital exclusion, and the loneliness it causes, in the city. We have been granted an extra week on our campaign to collect more pledges from the community so we can provide even more financial support to organisations such as the Refugee and Migrant Centre, Wolverhampton Samaritans, Gazebo Theatre and Wolverhampton Learning Platform. Please spread the word to your friends and family in this final week of the campaign!

One City Fund

Pledge your support at: https://www.spacehive.com/onecityfund

A group of charities and community organisations from across Wolverhampton have come together to launch an urgent appeal in the midst of COVID-19.

We are calling for businesses and individuals to pledge your support for a resilience fund. All money raised will be used to alleviate some of the worst effects of the pandemic for people in Wolverhampton.

We have launched this crowdfunding campaign because we have been inspired by the incredible community response to COVID- 19 and we know that many more people want to help. Reports are showing that there are certain sections of society who will be disproportionately affected by the pandemic and we want to make sure that these people receive the support and help they need.

Agencies across Wolverhampton are coming together to support the city’s most vulnerable residents at this difficult time. But there is a further group of people who are in desperate need - in fuel poverty, families reliant on free school meals, on zero hours contracts whose hours have been slashed, homeless people, disabled people, people with mental health issues and people who have no access to technology.

The fund and the small grants fund will be administered by the WVSC. Organisations wishing to make a bid to the small grants fund are asked to email Saffi Price on [email protected].
