Our member Mira Hall from Nanny Solidarity Network was able to recruit two childcare workers for the weekend, and bring other colleagues from her network to participate in workshops and support a brilliantly creative kids' programme.
Solidfund members voted a £2,200 distribution to cover wages and tickets, while the children themselves came free. Some of them were experiencing the joy of going wild in the country for the first time.
Since we started in 2014, being able to support low-paid or unwaged workers and people with young families to participate in worker co-op events has become a consistent theme of Solidfund's work. The amount of money isn't necessarily much, but it can go a long way.
If you're an SF contributor but not yet involved in the active members group, email membership@solidfund.coop to get a Loomio invitation.
