  • Project extended!

    An update for UK festivals team up to raise vital funds for France’s refugee camps

    Apr 5 2016

    A massive thank you to all who have donated so far, it’s great to see so many people involved in this! However, now all of our line up announcements are out of the way, we can spread the word even further and bang our drums even louder! So we’ve decided to run this for one more month and hopefully raise even more awareness and funds!

    As an additional bonus, there have also been a few other festivals offer their tickets to this fundraiser so hopefully we’ll be able to add more tickets into the mix.

    We are aiming to relaunch with all updated details within the week so watch this space…

    Thank you again to each and every one of you for donating to this already, this humanitarian crisis really needs a lot more attention than it’s getting in the main media so any help you could do to spread the word on this fundraiser via social media would be hugely appreciated.

    Big love. xx

  • WE DID IT - BRISTOL'S CAT CAFE FULLY FUNDED

    An update for Bristol's First Cat Cafe

    Mar 23 2016

    Dear Cat Lovers,

    I feel so happy to announce such a wonderful mews for all of you. Cat Cafe has been fully funded, Bristol will have its own place to cuddle with cute cats !

    The story began when I signed 1000 leaflets to distribute them to homes across Bristol. And that huge effort brought wonderful results. One of the wonderful cat lovers who has received my leaflet pledged to the campaign but also became a private investor. Cat Cafe has been fully funded with just 30 mins left.

    It has been a long, challenging journey to raise necessary money to open Bristol's First Cat Cafe. But we did it. And I am so grateful for all your support.

    THANK YOU

    At midnight we have charged everyone who has pledged according to the terms of our crowdfunding campaign as we have hit our target. After midnight we have changed our campaign to Open Ended, so people can continue to pre-buy their visit until we open.

    THANK YOU AGAIN, MEOW !!!
