Fwd: RV: Exciting update about our crowdfunder - and a few simple ways you can help

[Rosalind Bacon]

Hi Maresa,

I'm hoping you're able to share the information below through the CSA network re our Crowdfunding campaign to set up a new growing site for Norwich FarmShare CSA.

We're looking forward to starting growing again on this city-centre site which will have an educational and community engagement focus.

Best wishes,

Rosalind

 

View this email in your browser Dear , We're writing to share some good news and ask for your support with our crowdfunder at this crucial time in our development. If everyone does their bit - whether it’s committing money, or time and skills, or simply solidarity -  it all adds up to help take forward our vision for a fair and sustainable food system for Norwich. So... please do what you can - but don’t feel under pressure to do more than you can!  First - the good news. We've been approved for a match funding award from the Santander Changemaker fund. This is a huge boost to the campaign - it means when we hit 50% of our target (£12,500), they will match fund the rest to get us over the finishing line. Thank you Santander! We're now just below the £4,000 mark, with over three weeks to go, and we're anticipating one or two large pledges in the coming weeks. This means, if we can keep the momentum going, our target is completely achievable.  Here are four simple steps you can take to help spread the word about our campaign. If you can do just one - great! If you can do all of them - even better!  (1). If you haven't already - and if you’re in a position to do so - please make a pledge! Every bit helps.  (2). Please tell your friends and colleagues about the campaign, and post the link bit.ly/fund-our-farm on your social media network. Tell them in your own words what you value about FarmShare, and how their pledge could help us. You might want to add the tag #fundourfarm - and do copy us in (see social media handles below). You can download images to add to your post if you wish to here: bit.ly/fundourfarm-images. (3). Please signup to our online Thunderclap campaign: http://thndr.me/xdPBfM. This is a new tool that allows people to pledge a social media post that will be sent along with all other supporters' messages at the same time - a bit like an online flash mob. It's completely secure and will only post a single, one-time message to your network. This will go out on (or around) Monday 27 November. It takes less than a minute to join and will mean we can keep the momentum going at a crucial stage two weeks before the crowdfunder ends.  (4). Please email or message three friends who share your values with the campaign link (bit.ly/fund-our-farm) with a personal note to invite them to make a pledge.  (5) Finally, if you would like to grab a few flyers or a poster to distribute - you can pick these up from the Missing Kind in Castle Meadow - anytime between 9am and 5pm Tuesday to Saturday.    Thanks for your support, we couldn't do it without you :) In veggie solidarity, and with thanks,  Liz, Claire, Esme and the crowdfunder team 07951 928877  @NorwichFarmshare (Facebook) @norwich_farmshare (Instagram) @Farm_Share (Twitter) Like our Facebook page Follow us on Twitter Join our Facebook group Copyright © 2017 Norwich FarmShare, All rights reserved.
