These crowdfunding campaigns are part of a joint initiative between the Mayor of Liverpool and Spacehive, the UK’s leading civic crowdfunding platform which gives local people in Liverpool the chance to pitch creative, community-led projects and secure funding of up to £10,000 from the Mayoral Inclusive Growth Fund.
“It is now more important than ever that our communities stay resilient and keep connected, so I am thrilled to back these brilliant new campaigns, which put local people at the very heart of our city’s recovery.
Crowdfund Liverpool gives them a much stronger voice in shaping their area, while offering everyone the chance to be part of the change they want to see.
I encourage everyone who can, to get involved in shaping Liverpool’s future, whether it’s through pledging towards campaigns or providing the skills and resources that will help the projects flourish.”
Thrive
“Words cannot describe how grateful we are to receive the full £10,000 pledge from the Mayoral Inclusive Growth fund to help make this dream of ours a reality for North Liverpool! To be able to bring back the picture house history of Liverpool Lighthouse, which originally opened as Gaumont Palace in 1931 has always been a huge passion of ours and the community.”
“Particularly during these times, we all really need something to look forward to, and by receiving this amazing funding it puts us one step closer to bringing film back to our disadvantaged area. 2021 will be the year for our community and we cannot wait to be hosting film screenings on the regular”
“When we have been faced with so many ‘we can’t moments’ ‘, it is so wonderful to say ‘we can’. I will forever be humbled by the kindness of all the contributors to this great project, from the people in our local community to Myclubmoor and The Mayoral Inclusive Growth fund. To all of you that shared our dream and passion to create a space for friendships and connections to be made, friendships that conquer loneliness, ease suffering from anxiety and depression, and simply allow us to have a good old natter, we shall forever be in your debt.”
