“I run Manchester Soup, which is a microfunding event that supports small local charities, social enterprises and voluntary groups in Greater Manchester” writes Rachel Kelly.

“The event provides a platform for these small groups to raise their profile, connect with the community and source donations, volunteers or support and the chance to secure a micro-fund”.

“It’s £5 to attend and you hear from three groups at the (currently virtual) event. Every attendees places a vote after hearing about each group and the group with most votes receives the microfund. The more attendees, the more we raise”.

The next Virtual Manchester Soup is on Wednesday 10th March from 7pm until 8pm.
