Can you help us with a regular monthly contribution of £5, £10 or more?
As our small business navigates the challenging economic landscape, we want to double down on ensuring that the well-being and community created at SSY increases in stability and viability. We want to resist responding to the current economic climate by putting up our prices as we're acutely aware that our community comes from a variety of backgrounds and income levels.
At this time, we need to bring in part-time help to run SSY behind the scenes and help create the spaciousness required for other behind the scenes staff (yes that's just me folks, Janine!) to really focus on building on the wonderful keystone of our community already established and take us forward through this challenging time.
As we commit to keeping our main Membership pricing static (into it's fourth year at this level), here on Crowdfunder, those that feel called to can support us further. By supporting us on a monthly basis you'll enable us to keep our main Membership pricing structure as accessible as possible, whilst creating a monthly fund for a part-time Membership Manager. Our hope is that as the economic situation settles and our community grows in size, we'll be able to self- fund this role sometime in the next 12 months.
It’s our intention to expand the role of our wonderful teacher Fee Salmond Smith, to include part-time Membership Manager, contributing to the back office team by providing focussed support to our Membership community at SSY.
So by supporting us on Crowdfunder, you'll be directly:
1. Enabling members of our community who are on lower incomes to keep coming to yoga, their yoga membership/classes may be one of the very few things that won't increase in price.
2. Helping free up much needed time for us to grow our community and bring even more well-being through yoga, to a wider section of the Inverness population.
3. Employing our wonderful Fee Salmond-Smith as part-time Membership Manager, a crucial role in the SSY community.
If you’re already a Member, with your regular donation, you can 'self-select' an increase in your monthly commitment to our community that you feel sits best with your income and your experience at SSY. If you’re part of the wider SSY tribe and network you can help keep our beautiful community stable and secure during these changeable times.
Whether a Member or a supporter from our wider network, you’ll be making the world of difference to the trajectory of our community and you'll be helping to bring tools that create peace and well-being, into the lives of folks local to Inverness…
As we're aiming to create a stable monthly fund through regular donation, we've kept the intial target low, this will only cover an interim period at 10 hours a week or thereabouts. So please be sure to opt for regular donation after your initial pledge, when prompted, if you can. . .but of course we're incredibly grateful for any for any contribution you can make, thank you!
