Community fundraising via Project Soup

Inspired by the success of the soup events in Detroit our friends at Small Works Kings Cross and Small Works Victoria have brought #PROJECTSOUP to London. Since its successful 2015 launch, we have raised nearly £5000 for local projects in Westminster & Islington.

The concept for Project Soup is simple:
+ £5 entrance for a bowl of soup and 1 vote
+ 4 local groups pitch their idea for a community activity
+ each presenter has 4 minutes to pitch their idea
+ all vote for 1 Winner

The History of Project Soup:

The first Project Soup in December 2015 saw more than 40 Islington residents come together to support Carlos Casimiro of Cally Stars Football Club. Since then we’ve helped raise money for The Academy London, Centre 404, Central Community Impact, This One Family Matters, Food For All, Islington Bangladeshi Association, One Big Family Helping The Homeless, NourishingQi, and Ahmed Faid who is campaigning to save Barnard Park football pitch.

Our 2018 Soup project has grown into Pitches 4 Purpose. And we’re ready to hand this juggernaut of grassroots social impact on to another passionate group!

If you’re interested in picking up where we’ve left off, and creating your own Soup event to raise money in your community we’re here to help! We’re passing along this tradition of community support to the next generation of Soup-ers!
