OUR Crowdfunder SUPPORTERS
Crowdfunding is a vital form of raising funds in order to keep our prices affordable and make Borrowing accessible.
We were able to start BDB back in 2017 through our Borrow Don’t Buy crowdfunding campaign, and were overwhelmed with support below are the Founding Members who helped us make it happen!
March 2022 saw our 2nd campaign BDB’s Big Boost and was necessary to help us bounce back from the pandemic, keep our team, continue growing to serve even more of Plymouth, and re-engage with the local community after a difficult couple of years.
Due to such great support from pledgers and match-funders, we hope to make Crowdfunding a regular accourance and have now completed our 3rd campaign BDB’s Big Borrowing Bonanza.
Below are all the people, match-funders and local businesses that have supported us through these campaigns and to whom we are eternally grateful! Because of you the people of Plymouth to can continue to access the things they need, whilst also looking after our planet and making Plymouth and even more AWESOME place to live!
