REALLY DISSAPPOINTED not to have won the £10,000 Pots of Possibility fund.
It would have kick started the exciting journey of Queen's Market and started to make a real difference to the local community by giving them self belief that anything is possible.
I still believe in this project and it will make a difference.
It just might take a lot longer and be more complicated as the funding was needed to fund into other organisations, such as Stanley's community centre, as they have the expertise to work with the young people who may be forgotten by the system.
I will not give up on my dream of making your dreams come true.

Please consider helping us out on Saturday by registering and coming along to vote for QMM's first community project alongside being able to vote for 3 other community projects in the local area (details can be found here -
https://foodfutures.org.uk/your-pots-projects/

Just a few hours of your time to listen to the 3minute pitches, have a brew and talk to those projects pitching for the funds. Then a chance to use 4 votes for your favourite projects.

QMM intend to use the grant to kickstart their first project, using the fund to invest in other groups in the local community, such as Stanley's, to undertake the project -building, enabling and empowering.

REGISTER AND COME ALONG TO SUPPORT US AND OTHER COMMUNITY PROJECTS

What will this mean for you?
If you can possibly give us a few hours of your time to come along, listen to the pitches of 11 local projects and then cast your 4 votes for your favourite ones. Voting for Queen's Market Morecambe will kick start our work in the community.

What will it mean to us?
If we get this initial £10,000 funding, it will mean we can get a project started -working with young people to reuse and recycle reclaimed materials to design/make furniture for our community spaces.

FREE TO ATTEND BUT YOU MUST PLEASE REGISTER TO ATTEND

Please consider booking a place and coming along on Saturday to listen to our pitch and vote for Queen's Market Morecambe along with 10 other worthwhile local projects 🙂

I happen to mention to my neighbour Nick from Queens Market that I need a better shop front to represent the quality of my business. Lo and behold in spirit Queens Market he believes in me and so he is giving his time for free.

To celebrate NATIONAL POETRY DAY today.
I never thought I could do anything like this as I failed GCSE English and was always told I was no good. I'm 50 this month and this is the first thing I have ever written - NEVER GIVE UP 😁
Inspired by Morecambe Poetry Festival, I wrote this from the heart about my project and how I see society.
