Settle Soup and the other soup events are a powerful tool to start conversations, grassroots ideas and fund new projects in our communities. They are a mix of dragon’s den, micro fundraiser, social event and lots of soup.
Most UK soups started as a result of reading about Detroit Soup from the BBC magazine article Can Soup Change The World ? or hearing the BBC World Service documentary.
We had a trial run of three Settle Soups in 2015 and this was made possible by a grant from North Yorkshire Police Property Fund.
Feeling inspired to find out more? Have a look and see if there is a soup near you on SundaySoup.org
If you are thinking of starting your own then have a look at the How to Soup guide on the BBC or download from the Detroit Soup website which is a 38 page document of things that have and haven’t worked for them – an essential read for anyone planning a community soup.
