Cheshire East Council is launching an exciting new crowdfunding initiative to encourage and create community-led projects that will make a difference. 

Working in partnership with Spacehive, the UK’s leading civic crowdfunding platform, the Cheshire East Crowd is an initiative that will give residents who have ideas to improve their community the opportunity to gain funding via the crowdfunding platform.

Cheshire East has allocated a total of £100,000 to the programme, with up to £10,000 (or 50 per cent of total project costs) available per idea to boost projects towards their funding target. The deadline to put forward your idea is Wednesday, 15 September 2021. 

The council and Spacehive are holding an online launch event via Zoom on Tuesday, 6 July. You can register to join the launch event here.

People with project ideas are also encouraged to register in advance for one of the two upcoming workshops below:

Wednesday 14 July at 12:00, and  

Wednesday 28 July at 14:00.
