Description
Soup is…
-
where the Southend community comes together to have fun and share soup (vegan/nut free)
-
5 minute pesentations from people/small groups needing a small amount of funding. 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-£250 (sometimes more!) Submit your idea
Funding comes from donations on the day. 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!
Hosts Kings Road URC are working towards their Silver Eco-Church award, hence the Green Living theme. So;
-
If you are part of a group or organisation that helps people live in a sustainable Earth-friendly way, we can set up a table so you can talk to people. Let us know in advance if you'd like to do this: SherryFuller@Hotmail.co.uk
-
Likewise if you make stuff that helps with recycling, reduces plastic or waste, is organic, fair trade, animal-friendly, or otherwise fits in with the eco theme, please come talk about what you do and sell your wares/share your stuff or ideas. (As above, get in touch if you want a table.)
-
Don't bring plastic if you can avoid it! Cloth bags, reusable water bottles.
THINGS TO BRING:
-
The venue is a Trussel Trust Foodbank, so feel free to bring donations. UHT milk, juices, sponge puddings, Smash (easy mash potato), squash and tinned pies are always needed (but not beans - they have loads!)
-
There are bowls at the venue, but it can be useful to bring your own in case we get lots of visitors!
-
Musical instruments as there's usually a jam to join in with!
-
Entertainment for kids (and kids-at-heart!)
-
Donations for The Kindness Exchange who do a trolley-run of Southend's rough sleepers: spray deodorant, boxer shorts, comfy women's pants, socks, wet wipes, hand sanitiser, tampons/towels, toothpaste/toothbrushes.
See you there!
