We are looking into the idea of crowdfunding for the next stage of an infrastructure design development to take it to the planning stage - does anyone have any experience of using crowdfunding in relation to building projects etc? Any suggestions of where to start would be really helpful, thanks.

Crowdfunding is great and is a really a help to a lot of people however the final benefits should outway what your dream is. You may have a formidable plan for this but will this benefit the funders. I feel this is an idea you would have to detail more, as I have noted many people who have made this same sort of request on this forum and many others, only to be mocked, which I find quite annoying as many were for performers and the like who just asked for help to forward careers. It is a matter that I see that if the person funding does not really gain they are not interested. I can only see a invested interest crowd funding of sorts would be more suited. So money would be loaned, but repayed at a interest rate that you accept. this way the investor sees some sort of return. If this was a more charitable and an act of building work that will enhance the community maybe a community based funding may be the way to go. Please though more detail is required.


Thanks

      That's great you have the cat! Sorry to interfere, and feel free to ignore this, but it might not be a great idea to post your mobile number on a public forum? You can message the owner on the forum via a private message.

      Venue hire suggestions

      By Pugwash · Posted

      Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.

      Thank you to who ever keeps the forum going

      Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.
