We're still collecting donations
On the 15th April 2020 we'd raised £110 with 3 supporters in 14 days. But as every pound matters, we're continuing to collect donations from supporters.
The global COVID-19 pandemic has created a very rocky start for us, we need your help to make it to 2021!

On the 15th April 2020 we'd raised £110 with 3 supporters in 14 days. But as every pound matters, we're continuing to collect donations from supporters.
The global COVID-19 pandemic has created a very uncertain landscape for millions of British small businesses, which is going to make it very challenging for businesses to survive. Without your help we might not make it through to 2021.
Everything was going so well! We secured a business loan to help us purchase our equipment and get all the insurances and legal requirements in place. We had enough left over to start paying pitch fees and buy stock for the about half of our season.
Then came Covid 19. Festivals were cancelled and pitch fees are non-refundable meaning our cash has been swallowed up by other businesses, who don't want to go bankrupt either. However, for us that will mean that we can't ever start trading as we won't have the money to pay for new pitch fees and stock next year, plus we are still paying for the loan.
The government funding doesn't help us as we don't have trading accounts from before.
We just need a little help to stay afloat and get started with our business in 2021. We had expected to have some hits and some misses but we hadn't anticipated a full shut down, and no income whatsoever. Having paid out for festivals already is also a low blow which we need to bounce back from.
