THRIVE Trafford and South Trafford Locality Partnership are hosting a crowd funding event called 'Detroit Soup' at 6:30pm to 9:30pm on October 22 at Local Creation, 1 Central Way, Altrincham.

Detroit Soup is a crowdfunding event that brings people together to raise money and provides support for community projects.

Attendees make a suggested donation of £10 and listen to four people sharing their idea for helping their local community—anything from cleaning up a park, to running an after-school programme, to starting a small business.

Over soup and entertainment, attendees connect, ask questions, share ideas, offer support, resources - or even step-up and get involved.

Every proposed idea will go away with support of some kind. The most popular idea will also leave with the door donations to help their project on its way.

The person with the chosen idea comes back at a future event to report on the progress of their project.

If you would like to present your project ideas 'For what this town needs...' at this event complete the online form on www.surveymonkey.com/r/DetroitSoup, or to attend contact Laura Evans on 07976894419 or email stlp@detroitsoup.co.uk.
