'Stirling Soup' is a community crowd-funding event, bringing together local people to support projects that improve our local area. Soup4 is part of Stirling's first volunteer festival, and they are trying out a new time slot on a Sunday afternoon. All welcome - kids too!
Donate £5 (or more) to come along to an afternoon of live music and soup, listen to 4 or 5 pitches from local people who have an idea / project to make Stirling a better place to live, and vote on your favourite. At the end of the night, the winner takes away all of the donations to invest in their project (and returns to a future event to update us all on its progress).
They are also bringing back 'get involved' zone, featuring 4 local charities who need your time, hands and energy more than your money. Meet some new people, discover new projects, and have a chat about getting involved in volunteering in Stirling.
And, inspired by I, Daniel Blake and the Bag for Katie campaign, they will be be collecting donations of sanitary towels and tampons to donate to local women using foodbanks and who are living in poverty. Do bring along a donation for them if you can.
It's free to book your ticket via Eventbrite (it helps figure out how much soup to make!). On the night, please bring along a donation of £5 or more to secure your soup and your vote! All proceeds go directly to the cause or project with the most votes on the night.
