Please support where you can. π«Άπ»
Friends, are you able to help?
We are running a fundraising drive (pun very much intended) to support the cost of buying a replacement second hand van, which will be shared with our creative community here in Leeds and beyond on a Pay What You Decide basis.
We purchased our current company van second hand in August 2020, to help keep our food bank operations running throughout the pandemic.
Last year, our company van was out on the road with other artists and community groups for a grand total of 184 days, touring shows across the UK, transporting exhibitions, serving as a mobile film production base, moving large musical instruments, delivering gazebos to local festivals, rehoming furniture and much more. Useful and Kind.
Unfortunately the van has become less reliable in recent months due to a series of engine problems, which impacts how reliably we, in turn, can support our wider artistic community.
If you are in a position to do so, please consider donating via the PayPal button on our homepage here www.slunglow.org
If one of the previous Slung Low vans has been useful to you over the years please share this post along with any fun adventures you had using it!
Thank you very much x
βWe borrowed the van over 3 weekendsβ¦which helped us create and tour our first [Arts Council England] funded street show. Having the van for free, saved us about Β£500 on our budget which we were able to re-invest into the show through props, costumes and rehearsal time for the actors. It was a gift, and really allowed us to enhance our work. I genuinely think this was the most important in kind support we have ever had, and its significance to a small, growing company, was huge.β
