Settle Soup is back!
Help new local community projects get off the ground.

Settle Victoria Hall

Settle Soup is back!4 pounds - 4 ideas - 4 minutesHelp new local community projects get off the ground The concept is simple: a suggested donation of £4 on the door (£2 for under 18s) gives you to a delicious meal of soup, bread, tea and a vote for your favourite local community project pitched on the night. We want lots of local folk to get involved so if £4 is a bit steep just donate what you can afford, if you are feeling generous you can donate more!Children are very welcome and if they are old enough to decide which idea they like best then they can have a vote.Four ideas for improving Settle or the local community will be put forward, each has 4 minutes to pitch to the crowd.Then we eat together and discuss the ideas and mingle, meet new people and generally have a good time.Everyone votes for the idea they like best and the winner gets all the money taken on the door to kickstart their project. The people behind the project will then be asked to update us on their progress as they bring their idea to life.Many people have asked 'what if the winner blows their money on drink or drugs or flash cars?' My answer is.. Settle is a small place so we will all know if someone misuses their winnings. I think this is very unlikely to happen .. but if it does they will never get their project off the ground and not be trusted again!Doors open at 5 pmPitches at 5.30 pmSoup at 6pmWinner announced at 7pmIf you want to pitch your idea to the crowd..It could be a business, free service, solution to a local problem, a workshop or a way of improving your local landscape. As long as it benefits the local area in some way it will be considered. We pick four of the best ideas submitted, as varied as possible, and invite the proposers along to pitch at our Settle Soup.If you have an idea just email or call and tell us more about your plans...contact Jo on hub@settlecommunityandbusinesshub.org.uk or phone 07977 040329Settle Soup is inspired by the wildly successful <a href="https://detroitsoup.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Detroit Soup </a>which has raised over $147,000 for projects in the city since 2010.More info about soups in this BBC article <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-31594513" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Can Soup Change The World?</a>The Settle Soups can only happen due to financial support, time or skills or volunteers from...
