About this Event

Based at The Boileroom music and arts venue in Guildford, Surrey Soup is a volunteer effort and exercise in community, food, creativity and good times. We are creating new opportunities and lasting cultural exchange with our locality.



Doors are at 6pm, with the event starting at 6.30pm.



Come along and find out more about the groups that will be pitching, what their projects and ideas are about, and to cast your vote and make a positive impact on the local community.



If you'd like to pitch, drop lydia@theboileroom.net an email.



So what is Surrey SOUP?

Surrey SOUP is a community-focused and led creative, grassroots crowd-funding project. Ever had an idea, project, or start-up that will benefit the community? Have you struggled to get funding or get the project started? This is the place for you!



At each meeting:

3/4 applicants will be chosen to present to the audience for five minutes – with three slides – who they are, a picture of the problem, and a picture of the solution. Each presenter can also answer 4 questions from the audience. Each audience member then casts a vote for their favourite project. The one with the most votes wins the cash. And of course everyone gets a bowl of soup and bread – Everyone is a winner!



If you'd like to put forward a proposal, fill in the application form via our website here:

Or email lydia@theboileroom.net to be sent a form (large formats available).



The event is FREE but we do ask for a discretionary donation on the door. We also need volunteers to help out on the day and to help make the lovely SOUP. Feel free to bring family and friends and anything you would like to eat or share in addition to the SOUP.
