Soup is…

• a place where the Southend community comes together to have fun, to share soup (vegan and nut free so it's suitable for everyone) and to grow ideas

• for everyone - all ages, all people, any and no faith, any political persuasion
  

• pesentations from people or small groups needing a small amount of funding for their ideas. Ideas can be related to community, art or business. Everyone votes for their favourite idea and the winner gets a pot of money - usually around £150-£200 (sometimes more!)

Funding comes from donations taken on the day. Your donation buys soup, bread, drinks and a vote. Donations are £5 or what you can afford or want to pay. Kids are free - unless they wish to donate any of their pocket money.

Everyone is a soup ingredient. Bring…

• entertainment! We often have musicians, magicians, face-painting and crafts for kids

• crafts or wares to sell, share or swap

• information to raise awareness of your group or organisation

• anything else you want to share/tell people about
