Changemakers SOUPs are back!
This year Changemakers SOUPs will focus on four regional communities in Dundee AND provide bigger funding pots of £1000 to help projects and ideas have a greater impact for the people of the city!
We begin on 23 July, 6-8pm, at Canvas on Ure Street (71 Brewing's new taproom) with a Central Dundee SOUP covering:
-
Maryfield (City Centre, Stobswell, Baxter Park, Woodside, Blackscroft, Springhill) and
-
Coldside (Dudhope, Hilltown, Law, The Glens, Coldside, Fairmuir).
Some things to consider for your submission:
-
Does your project or idea cover one of these geographical
communities in Dundee?
-
How does your project or idea impact social and climate action?
-
Does it collaborate or connect and share resources or ideas?
-
Is it inclusive?
The deadline for submitting your idea via this form is Tuesday 15 July at midnight. Presenters will be selected and notified by Thursday 17 July. You need to be a
member of Dundee Changemakers to submit an idea - it's free and easy,
just tick the box when applying. More info on membership is here.
Three more SOUPs are to come within our funding year, featuring West,
East and North Dundee!
What is Dundee SOUP?
Dundee SOUP is based on the popular Detroit SOUP - a micro-funding event celebrating and supporting creative community projects. You'll enjoy some food and chat, and hear five short presentations from local people with creative ideas to benefit their community – these can range from art, food, social justice, outdoor activities, education, sustainability and much more. At the end of the presentations, everyone votes on their favourite projects! Come along to meet other Changemakers and participate.

This event is open to anyone – whether you need help for an idea that could benefit your community or whether you want to support a project that aims to tackle local challenges. There will be an opportunity to make a donation on the day which will be split between two unsuccessful pitches.
You do not need to be part of a constituted organisation to pitch. You can have the seed of an idea that needs some support to get you there.
Coming along to join in the fun?
Let us know that you're attending the event, and we look forward to seeing you there.
Submitting an idea to pitch on the night? Complete this form before Tuesday 15 July at midnight. We'll be in touch by Thursday 17 July to let you know if you've been shortlisted as one of the five ideas, and with information on how to pitch.
“It’s a little bit of funding, it’s a lot more empowering and it’s even more about connectivity.” – Amy Kaherl, Detroit SOUP founder.
