CALLING ALL IPPLEPEN RESIDENTS... Pitchers Are Needed!
Following a number of SOUP Community Events across Teignbridge, SOUP is now coming to Ipplepen - live!
This new, tasty fundraising initiative is simple: Local people come together, give a donation for a bowl of soup, and listen to people pitch for their community benefiting project ideas.
Pitchers each have the floor for up to five minutes and must rely on their passion and speaking abilities to win over the audience.
With the presentations over, soup is served and participants will have time to think, chat with others, and mull over the ideas before choosing their favourite idea.
The event is supported by Ipplepen Community Hub, Teignbridge CVS and a number of local businesses and benefactors.
The winning pitches get to take home, between them, a share both of money taken at the door and local donations. There is also an opportunity to ask for other support from the community. They get to use it to fund their plans, with the promise they will come back to report on their progress at the next SOUP event.
Coming along on Friday 8th April at 6pm to the Ipplepen Community Hub will also give you not only a chance to hear how previous winners have spent their money, eat tasty SOUP and of course vote who are the most deserving projects, but also a sneak preview of the fabulous refurbished Hub!
You do not need to be a registered charity in order to pitch. All that is needed is an idea that benefits the community! So get on your thinking caps and write a paragraph about your idea or project, and send it to [email protected] as soon as possible. Alternatively ask Anja for a pitching form to fill in. Places to attend can be booked at tcvs.eventbrite.co.uk
