Laura from Primary Veducation is on a mission to help schools be more inclusive for vegan children. And as a successful participant of our recent crowdfunding programme, Laura found (unlike our other members) 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?

Victoria from Happy Carrot Skincare was the second of our members on our Crowdfunding programme to hit their funding goal. Her campaign received a surge of donations in the last few days before the deadline, so 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.
