Crowdfund Scotland Final Events

Posted on September 24, 2020

The Crowdfund Scotland programme comes to an end this year. Before they finish, the team wants to share as much knowledge as possible, both to help those who might work with crowdfunding projects into the future, and those who might run their own crowdfunder.

They will be running a final Train the Trainer online event for each LEADER area, for those interested in learning about how to best identify and support projects.

The Kelvin Valley and Falkirk event has been organised for Monday 26^th October, 2pm – 3pm. The event is completely free and no software, webcam or microphone is required to participate, so people can log in from anywhere that they have internet access.

To book your place, please visit the Eventbrite page.

Anyone unsure if they can commit to the date can still register for the event (as places are unlimited), and the Crowdfund Scotland team will send them a recording to watch another time if they miss the live event.

The team has also set up a series of public webinars, aimed at those who are going to run their own crowdfunder, or want to find out more about doing so:

Wednesday 30^th September at 10am: Crowdfund Scotland LIVE + Learn: How Crowdfunding Works
Monday 2^nd November at 3pm: How To Find The Crowd For Your Crowdfunder
Wednesday 4^th November at 10am: How To Use Rewards For Your Crowdfunder
Monday 9^th November at 3pm: How To Create A Great Crowdfunding Page
Wednesday 11^th November at 10am: How To Run A Successful Crowdfunder
Thursday 19^th November at 3pm: Crowdfunding Your New Business

CVS Falkirk Update: Goodbye Jen Kerr

It has been a month of change for our team at CVS Falkirk, saying goodbye to our Chief Executive Officer Jen Kerr after 2 years with us. On her leaving, Jen said: “When I started in the summer of 2018, I wanted to raise the profile of the third sector in Falkirk, and I feel we at CVS Falkirk have achieved this. The sector is now more integrated in community planning, with its own voice – we feel this is really important, as they are the experts on what’s happening in our communities.”

We know she’ll continue this level of excellence in Glasgow, and wish her all the best at GSEN. We’re delighted to have welcomed Katrina MacPherson to the team as our #SocialEnterprise Support Consultant!
