Do you need £500 to get your idea off the ground?
Learn how to put together the strongest application for a SOUP event and be in with the chance of winning it!
In collaboration with Energise Me, Action Hampshire will be encouraging communities in Portsmouth and Southampton to be active this Summer. We’re looking for individuals to put forward ideas about how they can encourage people ‘to get moving’. Successful candidates will be invited to present their ideas at SOUP which is an event where people pitch their ideas and the audience votes for their favourite (whilst enjoying a bowl of soup!) and the person who gets the most votes will receive funding to deliver their project.
Are you passionate about getting local communities moving more?
Come along to one of our information sessions and find out how you can pitch your way to £500 in funding to kick-start your project! We have five upcoming sessions in Southampton and Portsmouth:
