An update for Help the Stokes Croft Land Trust purchase its first building and bring it into community ownership
May 12 2022
Hi,
We’ve got big news… We have reached our minimum target!
This is down to you, for your belief and your action which have helped us gain a significant social investment from Booster Fund managed by Co-operatives UK. With over 330 investors now amassed, we are energised to go for the maximum target of £345,000 by Tuesday 31st May 2022.
Please shout about this as loud as you can:
1. Share it on your social channels.
2. Tell your friends and family networks.
3. See if your workplace can make a charitable donation.
4. See if you can make another investment.
If you would like to stay up to date with our progress, please follow/ like us on Facebook and Twitter. If you have any other questions, email info@stokescroftlandtrust.org.
Many thanks,
Keith Cowling

An update for Funding Ukrainian Emergency Aid & Supplies
Apr 11 2022
First of all a massive thank you to everyone involved with our campaign, from the volunteers and partners to the donors supporting us, you have all been amazing. While we are dealing with a truly horrific situation in Ukraine, your help and support has kept everyone on the team going and pushing forward.
Your donations have helped us to:
-Evacuate over 300 women and children to safe locations
-Deliver aid from US, Europe and U.K. to Ukraine directly
-Set up two warehouses and a logistics hub and volunteer network in Ukraine and Poland.
We have now gone past our initial £20,000 goal so we are increasing the Fundsurfer crowdfunding target to £40,000 as our work continues.
Our deepest thanks for your support, even a single share of the project page helps a lot alongside the online and offline financial donations we have received, it really adds up.
Love from the Presidium Network Team - Slava Ukraini

Thank You Thank You Thank You
An update for UPFEST 2022
Apr 11 2022
YOU DID IT!
You may have guessed by the title, but we want to say a MASSIVE thank you for supporting our Upfest 2022 festival.
YOU have made a huge difference already to this years festival.
Whilst the main festival will take place on the 28th & 29th of May, street painting will take place between the 5th & 25th of May so we hope to see you on the streets throughout May.
With regards to rewards we will be in contact this week with further information and details of how to let us know which T-shirt size you need or dates for booking in for graffiti workshops etc.
If needed we can post out rewards and we'll be in contact about getting your address, however if you are in Bristol we'd love for you to pop to the gallery to collect, in order that we can save a few pounds on postage costs so we've more money to go into the festival.
Thanks again,
The Upfest Crew

An update for UPFEST 2022
Apr 6 2022
Hey everyone,
Thanks so much for your pledge, we've just passed 50% of our target so feels like we've got to the top of the mountain and now all we need to do is get back down the other side in the next five days.
Yesterday we posted a great little video onto our socials showing our new book and hidden artwork (one of the rewards), if you're able to share our post that would be awesome!
Thanks again for your support, it's going to be a nail biting five days....
