Herne Hill Solidarity Fund

14/08/2022

Our stats update for June and July! Over the last two months we have supported 8 unique requests and redistributed £400 from fund. Thank you so much to everyone who’s contributed to the fund! 💛💚

At the moment we usually have 2-3 requests pending at any one time as we don’t get enough into the fund each month. If we could raise £200 more each month that would cover all our requests - that’s 20 people donating £10! If you can, please consider contributing £5, £10 or an hour’s worth of wages each month to the fund at opencollective.com/hernehillsolidarity fund, or go to our bio.

Thanks for your continued support! Tell your neighbours and leave us an emoji in the comments to spread the word 😍

Herne Hill Solidarity Fund: Who are we? a refresher!

We are a community money pot for neighbours who are struggling to buy essentials based@on the principles of solidarity, no charity.

*Get involved today!*

The cost of living is rising. We can’t solve this through HHSF alone, but we can support each other as much as possible.

Help us combat the impacts of rising fuel prices 👊 Our Solidarity Fund will redistribute wealth to help reduce the financial burden of the rising costs of living.

If you can, please consider donating. 1 hour’s wage a month would allow us to support as many people as possible.

Looking for a new year’s resolution 🤔Why not help us administer our Solidarity Fund?

As such a small team we are unable to grow the fund. With a couple more volunteers, we could guarantee the fund continues for another year and grow it to support as many people as possible.

If you're interested, drop us a line at [email protected] telling us how you'd like to help out 👋

Merry Christmas from the HHSF! Thank you to all requesters and contributors for helping our neighbours over this tough year 🎄

Unfortunately, rising covid cases and uncertainty around new restrictions mean more people will be feeling the pinch this winter. If you can, please consider donating to our fund so we can support as many people as possible over this period 🙌

The end of the month means it’s nearly payday 💸

Freezing temperatures, paired with rising energy costs means this is going to be a tough winter for many. If you are able to, please donate to our Solidarity Fund so we can offer financial support to as many people as possible this winter.

A monthly donation of 1 hour's wage will go far to help our local community ✊

If you're not able to give, please share this post with friends, family and colleagues - We’re so grateful for your support 🙌

October saw us redistribute £450, covering 7 unique expenses requests. Thank you so much to all of our requesters and contributors for continuing to support the fund 💚

We receive over 10 requests a month for financial support, meaning some have to wait 2 months to receive those funds. If we can increase donations by another £200, we would be able to cover all requests. 1 hour’s wage a month would allow us to get closer to that goal 🙌

As always, please keep telling your neighbours and friends in SE24 about the fund, if they are able to financially contribute to it, or if they need to access it

We’re currently operating on a 2 month waiting list. If you have any money to spare and want to help people who are struggling in these difficult times, please consider donating to our Solidarity Fund, or setting up a monthly donation 🗓️

We suggest an hour's wage or however much you feel you are able to give.

If you're not able to give, please share this post with friends, family and colleagues - We’re so grateful for your support 🙌

Whilst takes place, many are already facing climate impacts through poor housing leading to overheating or freezing temperatures, risk of flooding, and rises in food and energy prices.

Our Solidarity Fund will redistribute wealth to those who most need it to help reduce the financial burden of these impacts.

If you can, please consider donating. 1 hour’s wage a month would allow us to support as many people as possible 👊

Can you help administer the fund? 🙋‍♀️ Currently we are 4 people who administer this fund.

It's not lots of work, but with such a small team we are unable to grow the fund.

With a couple more volunteers, we could guarantee the fund continues for another year and grow it to support as many people as possible.

If you're interested in administering the fund, drop us a line at [email protected] telling us how you'd like to help out 👋

We still have more requests for funds than we have funds.

Consider donating today to help us provide funds to those that need it. 💸

If 40 people gave £10 today we would reach our target 🙏
