Crowd funding scheme success for future of community projects

Cllr Helen Staples

The South and East Lincolnshire Crowdfund launched in 2023 and has now supported 15 community projects across Boston, East Lindsey and South Holland.

The scheme is run by the South and East Lincolnshire Councils Partnership which is made up of the three councils covering the areas in question.

The partnership has a £34,000 contract with Spacehive Ltd which maintains and operates the crowdfunding scheme and this money is split between the three district councils.

At a cabinet meeting at Boston Borough Council, on September 17, councillors noted the progress of the scheme and supported its continuation.

The overall project total value is £149,887 and the total crowd contribution was £77,117.
