Raising The Money

The board and steering group are guiding the purchase and development of the site. This includes a bid to the Community Ownership Fund to buy the Old Mart building on Victoria Road in Ulverston and create The Spot. There is a large, ground-floor space which was once used to house the buzz and bustle of the auctions for Ulverston and surrounding areas. Central, accessible, and available, this is a perfect opportunity for the community of Ulverston. We expect to hear the outcome of our bid by the autumn

FUNDRAISING

We need to raise £110K match funding for our initial costs. Some significant pledges have already been made but we are also looking to generate income to develop and run The Spot as it grows and develops. You can show your support in the following ways:

Companies, Charities and Statutory bodies

Contact us with pledges for funding, either for the initial capital costs or to share ideas for longer term funding. Contact thespotulverston@gmail.com

Individuals

We are aiming to raise £5000 through crowdfunding. Any amount is welcome.

You can contribute now at our CROWDFUNDER page.

This is a community initiative and your support, however small, is what it’s all about. And support isn’t just about money. If you have ideas that could benefit this project, then please share them with us. Our bid will be greatly strengthened by your testimonials and pledges of support.
