Discussion about the Sumac Youth Club proposal

An open meeting to discuss the proposal that the SYC sent to the admin email list on 27th October 2016. We welcome all current user groups of the Sumac to bring your thoughts about the proposal. This won’t be a decision-making meeting, but is a step in the process towards making a decision.

Sherwood Rise Residents Association

Sherwood Rise Residents Association (SRRA)

This is an open meeting to any one who lives in Forest Fields, New Basford, Carrington and surrounding areas. The Residents Association plans the Stuff of Life Festival on Hedley Villas Park, the Winter Gathering in December & other activities.

The purpose of the Residents Association is to also offer people the space to share community concerns, build community relationships and offer informal friendship as people who live in the same neighbourhoods.

Having Sumac as an accessible  venue will I hope encourage more local people to come along.

There will be tea and cake and samosas!

 

Also on Veggies Diary.

Bread Fund

Plans are afoot to set up a Notts Bread Fund for self-employed people to support each other if they become unable to work through illness or injury.

It needs at least 25 self-employed people (or people in similar situations e.g. zero hours or part-time jobs with no sick pay). There is sufficient interest to hope that 25 people will be able to come together on Thursday 10th March at 8pm at Sumac to get this started.

Because Bread Funds in the UK are still in the pilot phase, you need to be willing to experiment, accepting that there may be changes to what is initially agreed when you join. But you are also a pioneer, helping build mutual support for freelancers at a time of cutbacks in welfare support.

For more info see this Guardian article and the breadfunds.uk website which explains more about the concept (also available as a pdf flier).


Bread Funds are a new way for self-employed people and freelancers to support each other if they become unable to work.

A Bread Fund is a group of 25 to 50 people who contribute money each month into a fund which can support any of its members who become unable to work through illness or injury. It operates by members supporting each other on the basis of mutual trust.

Contributions to the fund, and payments by the fund to its members, are in the form of gifts. You can choose from different levels of contributions: the level you choose is related to the income you would like to receive if you become unable to work.

If you become unable to work, after 30 days the fund can start providing you with a modest income. This can continue for up to two years, though most people get back to work within a few months.

If you decide to leave, you can if you wish to apply for your contributions to be refunded less admin costs and any gifts made, though anyone receiving support must stay a member for at least two years in total.
