Buckfastleigh SOUP Event
2018-10-26 18:00 - 20:30 | Buckfastleigh Town Hall
SOUP is a non-bureaucratic way to find out about, support, and fund local community projects. Starting in Detroit in 2010, it is now run all over the UK and is particularly suitable for small projects and individuals trying to get funding for new ideas that benefit the local community.
Following the success of a Teignmouth SOUP event in April, which was attended by over 50 people and saw two local groups walk away with funding, SOUP is now coming to Buckfastleigh.
The first ever Buckfastleigh SOUP will now take place on Friday 26th October 2018, 6.00 pm at Buckfastleigh Town Hall, supported by Buckfastleigh Town Council.
The idea is simple: Local people come together, give a donation for a bowl of soup, and listen to three or four people pitch their project idea.
Pitchers each have the floor for up to five minutes and must rely on their passion and speaking abilities to win over the audience.
With the presentations over, soup is served and participants will have time to think, chat with others, and mull over the ideas before choosing their favourite idea.
The winning pitches get to take home, between them, a share both of money taken at the door and of a £ 400 local donation. They get to use it to fund their plans, with the promise they will come back to report on their progress at the next SOUP event.
Those wishing to pitch should write a paragraph about their idea or project, and send it to anja@teigncvs.org.uk ideally by 11th October 2018. Places to attend can be booked at tcvs.eventbrite.co.uk
For more information contact Anja at anja@teigncvs.org.uk or on 01626326123
