WEPT is crowdfunding to establish a creative hub in the Church Street Community of West London. We need you support by pledging to help us achieve our target. See details below.
STEPS (Skills Training Exhibitions & Production Space) Crowdfunding Campaign
We are running a crowdfunding campaign on Spacehive, the UK’s dedicated platform for improving local services.
Our campaign is called: Skills Training & Education Creative Hub
Our campaign page URL is: https://www.spacehive.com/thelondonsteps
Our campaign will run until: 7 February 2022
Our crowdfunding target is: £37,127
Spacehive has a partnership with City of Westminster Council, which can pledge up to £8000 to our campaign. We have made an application to their fund via Spacehive, and our campaign will be considered after a few weeks of crowdfunding. Getting pledge will in part based on the strength of our project and its alignment with their funding priorities, but also the popularity of our campaign.
We must hit our target in order to receive the funds. If we don’t hit our target, then we don’t receive anything. People can ‘back’ our campaign by ‘pledging’ via the campaign page. This involves using either papal or Gocardless (this is a payment gateway that allows people to pledge using a UK bank account and sort code)
The ‘pledge’ is set up as a pre-authorised payment, so no money is actually taken from the backer unless we hit our target, the pledge is cancelled.
Crowdfunding means we need to actively promote our campaign if we need to reive pledges. The minimum is £2, and at the start of the campaign if we need to gather as many as possible as this will demonstrate the popular appeal of our project.
Our project has successfully passed verification process, where it was assessed by an independent organisation called Loyalty
Help us to establish a space of belonging for the community, by the community. It will be an intergenerational creative hub welcoming to all, based in Church Street.
