Updates for Bearpit Social - The Next Phase

To the amazing 68 of you

By now you would have all received an email saying our campaign has failed.

Thank you to those who have emailed us and tweeted us but really, I should be thanking for giving us hope and having faith in what we are trying to achieve.

 

Fear not, we will find a way to do what we need to. We always have. 

It was an interesting expierence, and we did manage to raise just a little over £8,000, but we knew we started this we didn't want to settle for anything less than our target as it just wouldn't work doing half the work we needed to do. 

Baloo's Feast

 

Hi everyone,

We've reduced the reward price for Baloo's feast to make it sparkle more! Gather some friends and join us for a night of food and fun!

Last chance

Hi everyone, 

We are going to be extending the deadline for the final two weeks and on August 15 we will bring the campaign to the end. We may not be successful so I just want to thank everyone who has made a pledge regardless of the final outcome. 

love,

Team Bearpit xx

August

They say you can't rush a good thing!

As we continue to search for match funding, we will be extending the campaign to August. This will create a delay in the work beginning as we won't be able to book any workmen in but we are staying positive. Thank you to all those social media heroes who are helping spread our our voice! Any one day we are usually juggling 6 or 7 roles to run the business and be part of the Bearpit so any man power or advice is appreciated to drive this campaign forward is appreciated.  

Love

Team Bearpit

 

Dear 54 Pledgers!

With 6 days to go we've reached our 50% target! This is an all or nothing campaign that means if we don't reach our target by July 19th we won't be taking any of the money. 

The reason being the works we need to do are absolutely necessary and we can no longer put them off! If our 54 pledgers could share our crowdfunding campaign with at least 10 friends we make this happen! 

If you have any food lovers out there here's an example of a menu for the private dinner party in our home!

Feast of the Sea

Deep breath!

Alright folks! We will be extending the deadline to the 19th of July to help us reach our goals! We are absolutely moved by the kindness of our customers. Thank you so much for everything! Help us spread the word and help us reach out target :)

10 days 6 hours and 55 minutes

6 years ago today I graduated with my degree in Art Direction. 

The day I graduated I realised that as much as I loved the world of communication and design, there had to be more to life than coming up with creative concepts to sell cars, phones and clothes.

I've always wondered what the world would look like if community groups, charities and not for profit organisations had the budgets big brands had to get out their message, promote their causes and solve the problems the world faces.
