Grow Your Own Money - Generating Alternative Income

Training: Crowdfunding and Community Shares – Generating Alternative Income day will equip Community Growing Groups with the knowledge and skills they need to seek and find income from alternative sources other than grant funding.

Let Sonya Sangherra explain how crowdfunding, already used by a number of community gardens and city farms in the UK, can help raise money for specific projects. In 2015 an estimated $34bn was raised in crowdfunding, Sonya will explain what it takes to make a successful crowdfunding appeal.

In a separate session, Tiziana O'Hara will guide you through Community Shares, which have already been used to finance local pubs and shops, transform community facilities and support local food growing.  Since 2009 over £100 million has been invested through community shares in the UK.
