Croydon Crowdfunding Workshop

Civic crowdfunding – letting anyone raise money to improve or transform spaces – is happening in Croydon!

Have you ever looked at a nearby green space and thought it could be livened up? Or maybe you've got an idea to improve a publicly used building or to install some public art. Perhaps your ideas are even wackier, and could create an attraction that's the envy of the world. You're not alone. Many people are using crowdfunding to make their ideas happen.

From putting on street festivals to pop up markets, the possibilities are endless. Crowdfunding has been used to raise the profile of projects, gather public support, and raise the money that's needed to make an idea happen.

Spacehive will be coming to Croydon to teach people how to run a crowdfunding campaign to improve a space or place. If you're interested, come along! And learn the skills behind the power of community cooperation for turning local ideas into realities.
