Last week, we joined forces with Year Here to hold the 10th Crowdbacker event - and what a night it was! We raised almost £20,000 for six social ventures at the very beginning of their journey.

But that's just the start: each venture is hoping to raise a total of £10,000 to launch their work and start making an impact. They'll be continuing to crowdfund for the next four weeks. You can catch up with the recording here, or read about their work and make your contribution here - every penny will make a difference.

Since 2014, Crowdbacker events have launched 49 ventures at 10 events, many of which - such as Cracked It, Settle, Birdsong and Appt - are continuing to make a big impact. The next event will be in January and we hope to see you there!
