Dear Dunbar Community,
We’re excited to share our vision for *Social Brew Hub - The Dunbar* – a unique social enterprise dedicated to creating a vibrant community hub that celebrates local culture, fosters meaningful connections, and champions sustainability. But we can't achieve this alone – we need your support to bring this vision to life and make a lasting impact on our town.
Our Vision:
Imagine a warm, welcoming space where residents come together to socialize, enjoy locally sourced food and drinks, and participate in cultural events. A place that operates as a not-for-profit, reinvesting all profits back into our community. *Social Brew Hub - The Dunbar* is set to become that place – a beacon of social responsibility and community spirit right here in Dunbar.
How You Can Help:
By contributing to our crowdfunding campaign, you're investing in more than just a business – you’re investing in the future of our community. We have set an initial fundraising goal of £20,000. Your support will help us secure a location, apply for necessary licenses, and acquire essential equipment. Specifically, the funds will be used for:
- Securing and putting down deposits on a suitable venue.
- Applying for licensing and permits required to operate.
- Renovating and equipping the space to create a welcoming environment.
Together, we can reclaim part of our high street and create something truly special for Dunbar.
