About the event
‘Dragon’s Den with a social conscience!’
The ntr is excited to host SOUP – the pitching event which does amazing work locally. The shortlisted community projects will each have a short slot to pitch their idea and take questions from the audience.
It’s a great chance to find out more about what’s going on locally and to hear about some fantastic initiatives that are making a difference in your community.
This isn’t your typical funding process. SOUP puts the decision-making back into the hands of local people. It’s fun, informal and a great way to connect with others in your community.
All are welcome! How it works:
- Purchase a ticket, which includes entry, soup and a token to vote;
- Enjoy your soup while listening to the finalists pitch their projects, with networking;
- Vote for the project that you’d like to see supported;
- See who gets the prize money to kick off something new in your area.
Your ticket entry includes, a bowl of soup and a bread roll, and your token to vote.
