Aim: Help to raise money for start up costs for my burger van please. To get into full time work.
Hi, I'm Simon! Thanks for taking the time to read about my journey. Cooking has always been a passion of mine, and I’ve finally taken the steps to start my own breakfast and burger van! I’ve got my van, my equipment, my business registered, and my health & safety courses done—but I need your help to get started.
Why I Need Your Support
Starting a business is tough, especially when you're overcoming challenges. I’ve worked hard to build myself up after struggling with my mental health, and now I’m in a great place with a strong support system. However, due to my credit history, securing a loan has been impossible. I don’t want a handout—just a helping hand to get this business off the ground so I can work hard and earn an honest living.
Where I'll Be Trading
I’ve secured two fantastic locations:
The Curry House Car Park: Serving breakfast and burgers from 7 AM - 4 PM, six days a week.
The Pub Next Door: Cooking up delicious food on Friday and Saturday evenings.
How Your Support Will Help
Your contributions will go towards essential startup costs, including:
Stock & Ingredients – Quality food to serve delicious meals
Licenses & Permits – Ensuring everything is fully legal and above board
Fuel & Gas for Cooking – Keeping the van running and ready to serve
Marketing & Branding – Signage, menus, and advertising to attract customers
What You Get in Return
I believe in giving back, so everyone who donates will be welcome to come down and enjoy a free burger & chips on me! Plus, for larger donations, I’ll offer special perks like a personalized meal named after you or a special VIP meal deal card.
Join Me in Making This Dream a Reality!
I’m not looking to get rich—just to work hard and create something great for my local community. If you believe in second chances, supporting small businesses, or just love a good burger, please consider donating. Every little bit helps, and I’d be forever grateful for your support.
If you can't donate, a share on social media would mean the world to me!
Thank you so much, Simon
