Getting started with our Spokesperson Network and Celebrating our Crowdfunder
By Jude Habib
Posted on June 4, 2019

We did it! Together we’ve raised as of today just over £11,022. The final amount after crowdfunding fees will be around £10,700 which is fantastic. This is the first time we’ve ever led a crowdfunder and I’ve learnt a huge amount in the process (perhaps a blog for another time). We had a really ambitious goal which was revised to £30,000. But we opted not to do an all or nothing crowdfunding campaign and instead work with the donations received. We know that the funding to date can make a real impact already. It will mean that there are things that we wanted to do that can’t be funded but I’m only looking ahead at what support can be offered.

By sounddelivery
Posted on May 30, 2019

We’re crowdfunding a spokespersons network led by people with direct experience of some of our big social issues. Participants will have access to a range of training workshops, mentoring and media opportunities which we believe will raise their profile and ensure that they become the go-to people for comment on the issues they have experience of. We have fantastic and supportive media contacts who want to share their skills and professional expertise with our cohort. We believe that mentors will be key to breaking down barriers, demystifying the media and in the long term building collaborations for future programmes.

By sounddelivery
Posted on March 28, 2019

I am part of a Hull-based collective of 12 women who published a book An Untold Story, telling our journey to the streets and back. We wanted our book to be honest, even if that honesty is brutal, and to also have integrity in highlighting the issues we have, or are still facing. We did this in our own words with stories, artwork, poems, and photos. We wanted toContinue reading “Amanda: Why I’m championing a Spokespersons Network”
