We're still collecting donations
On the 28th May 2020 we'd raised £206 with 5 supporters in 28 days. But as every pound matters, we're continuing to collect donations from supporters.
Our aim is to offer reward deals now, at a discount, to enable us to offer new and exciting services once we reopen, which we hope is soon.

On the 28th May 2020 we'd raised £206 with 5 supporters in 28 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. Together we can help them.
Crowdfunder are offering up their platform to allow all UK small businesses to pre-sell their meals, events, hotel bookings etc. for cash now on a promise to redeem these at a later date.
For most of you who know our story at Woods Kitchen, you will know how hard we have had to work over the past two years to get the business back to where it is today, and just like lots of other businesses in the same position we are looking at ways in which we can come through all of this.
All businesses will need to try new ways of offering their services. Once we re-open we are hoping to offer an extensive ‘Woods at Home’ food service as well as our normal ‘in house’ service.
We are not asking you to offer up your money for nothing, but to take advantage of the amazing deals we will be offering once we are able to re-open. All deals will be honoured regardless of any extended lockdown rules. Once you have purchased a reward deal we will email the voucher to you, these can be purchased as gifts for friends and family or for someone who may have gone out of their way to help during these bad times.
Our Local Enterprise Partnership is offering to match fund with a grant the money raised by this appeal. So for every £1 you spend on a voucher to spend at the Woods Kitchen, we could receive another £1 of public funds. This is a fantastic offer, so please help us to achieve our target of £5000.
We ask project owners to honour their rewards wherever possible but please note that all pledges are donations and there is no guarantee that you will receive any rewards from the project owner. Please see Crowdfunder's Terms of Use for more information regarding rewards for pledges.
