COMMUNITY BASED FUNDING FOR SUTTON
What is Sutton Soup?
Sutton Soup - It's the sociable way of raising money for local good causes.
You come along and pay £8 for a meal of homemade soup and bread. You get to hear four pitches from local people who need funding for a project that benefits the Sutton community. You get to vote for the one you like best. The winner of the vote gets to keep ALL the money we take on the door on the night. That means your £8! By coming together that £8 turns into hundreds of pounds for the winner.
Events
Come along to Sutton Soup.
Learn about local charities and good causes and play your part in raising money for them. Meet new people and enjoy homemade soup served in hand made mugs crafted by a local potter. Have a glass of wine at our pay bar. It really is a fun and different evening out!
TAKE PART
Sutton Soup will be held in the beautiful venue of St. Nicholas Church but it is NOT a religious event. We welcome people of all faiths (and those with none!). Nor are we aligned to any political party. All are welcome whatever their views/background and we are hoping that Sutton Soup will reflect the vibrant and diverse population of Sutton.
Our Aim
The aim of Sutton Soup is:
- To promote the public involvement in community projects that are not run for profit and which aim to benefit the people who live and work in the London Borough of Sutton (LBS), to raise funds for those projects and to develop a sense of social entrepreneurship within the LBS and to provide publicity for initiatives local to LBS that stress low level direct involvement and community self help and activism.
- For the purpose of this clause ‘social entrepreneurship’ means that effort directed at changing the lives of the citizens of LBS for the better either through the relief of disadvantage, illness or through environmental improvement and is irrespective of sex, race, disability, ethnic origin, religion, belief, creed, sexual orientation or gender.
- Sutton Soup will achieve this by staging regular fundraising events at which good causes serving the LBS can present their work and their need for funding.
