Liverpool City Region Combined Authority  and  community fundraising platform Spacehive are keen to hear from residents who have an innovative, sustainable idea for their local area. This includes projects focussed on improving air quality, enhancing green spaces, improving local wildlife and biodiversity, and reducing carbon and energy use. 

No fundraising experience is necessary – 65% of Spacehive creators are starting a community project for the first time. Spacehive assists project creators with online workshops, 1-2-1 support and resources, providing advice on everything from project costs to campaign promotion.  

Plus, creating a crowdfunding project with Spacehive means that individuals, businesses, and organisations can also pledge funds towards the projects in addition to the Community Environment Fund, which means that projects can meet their fundraising goals easier and quicker.
