We now have a stretch target of £150,000 and that’s the maximum we can take from the Community Share sale. We can take anything up to this but nothing above it (3/4)

What does this mean? - This was an “all or nothing” crowdfunder, so now we’ve reached the minimum, we get to keep the investments you’ve made so far! - This project is definitely happening! - We have now unlocked the £25,000 matched investment from Co-Operatives UK. (2/4)

We’ve reached over half way of our goal! And an incredible 17% of the total shares sold so far are Pay It Forward shares which will go to marginalised members of our community. You are all incredible. And together we will create something priceless. https://t.co/3FSGpVzkLt
