During 2021, we teamed up with Crowdfunder UK to take a group of our members through a collective crowdfunding programme, raising over £20,000!
Live Q&A session with Crowdfunder UK
We’re joined by Nicole and Anna from CrowdfunderUK to explain how rewards-based crowdfunding works and how to run a successful campaign. Nicole, Anna and David then take live questions from our members taking part in the programme to help you get started on your campaign.
How Victoria hit her crowdfunding target
Victoria from Happy Carrot Skincare was the second of our members on our Crowdfunding programme to hit their funding goal. We talk to Victoria to find out exactly what activity she did to hit her target, what she learned and what she would change if she did it all again.
How Laura hit her crowdfunding target
Laura from Primary Veducation is on a mission to help schools be more inclusive for vegan children. Unlike our other members, Laura found that the majority of her backers were people she had no previous connection with. So just how did Laura buck the crowdfunding trend and get supported by complete strangers?

Days from the end of his crowdfunding campaign, Andrew Alexander had almost no backers and only a week to save his project. In this interview, David asks Andrew how he managed to raise $10k to fund his vegan documentary.
