Every week at Crowdfunder UK someone shares their "project of the week" - a chance to highlight the amazing work that people are doing on our platform - and today it was my turn. 😍 I chose Made In Hackney - a community kitchen who host plant-based cooking classes using donated food surplus, deliver nutritious and delicious meals to locals in need, and refer people to financial and wellbeing support services. 💗 They're already over halfway to their target with the help of live match funding which means more meals cooked and more connections made. 🙌 Have a read about their work (and support if you can) here: https://lnkd.in/emRqvqNp And if you want to work with the team who are helping wonderful projects like this get funded, WE'RE HIRING! Please share with your Customer Experience, Digital Marketing, and Social Media friends! Our live roles are here: https://lnkd.in/e6bH_7n8

We have just passed the halfway point of our Made In Hackney Crowdfunder campaign after only a week! Huge love to everyone supporting us. Five weeks remain to raise the other 50%. Can you help us feed vegan meals to people this winter, run free vegan cooking classes, and make crucial welfare support calls to the community? https://lnkd.in/eUNZdJUT All donations £250 or less will be doubled instantly by extremely generous match funding by Aviva.

We were delighted to attend Vegan Life Live last weekend to spread the message of our community cookery school. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our stall to say hello and learn about our charity. It was inspiring to see so many plant based businesses doing amazing things, such as Honestly Tasty, Viridian Nutrition and BOSH! by Henry Firth & Ian Theasby to name a few. Our chefs led demos across the weekend at the Herbivore Kitchen Stage and our founder Sarah Bentley and our Partnerships Manager Sean O'Callaghan gave an inspirational talk on food insecurity and the positive impact a plant based diet has locally and globally. A special thank you to Clearspring for their ongoing partnership, and particularly for the tasty snacks for our guests! Thanks so much to Vegan Life Live for their support, particularly Hannah Irons for her kindness and commitment to promoting our important crowdfunder campaign. We have now crossed the halfway point of our campaign in only the first week! Can you help us get to £30k so we can fund our free meal and support services for our community through Winter? You can donate here:  https://lnkd.in/e82ZQE3e All donations up to £250 will be doubled, thanks to the generosity of Aviva Community Fund.
