SOUP is a community crowd funding event which was started in Detroit-to raise funding for local projects (initially art projects). The idea is that 4 projects pitch for 4 minutes to an audience who have paid £4 entrance. The audience then eat soup and bring and share food whilst deciding which project they would like to vote for. All the votes are counted and the money is given straight to the winning project. Previous projects have won £200-£400+ although there has been match funding from the Big Pickersleigh The winning project must come back to the next SOUP to tell everyone how they got on with spending the money. The only guidance for the projects is that they must benefit the local community.
The date of the next Malvern SOUP is Sunday 2nd April 2017 3-6pm at Malvern Cube and the applications must be in by Friday 3rd March 2017 and can be made by Malvern SOUP website.
