We did it! We passed our Share Offer target and raised the funds we need to decarbonise the Warehouse. Thank you to all who invested or shared and to @cooperativesuk.bsky.social for match funding. The Share Offer is still open until noon on Friday if you planned to invest & didn't get round to it.

Got savings locked up in big banks? Why not invest some in our Share Offer to retrofit the @birminghamfoe.bsky.social Warehouse instead? We'll never invest in fossil fuel or arms companies. Share offer is only open for another three days, so don't miss out! Link in bio.

Anti-racist protesters holding banners in front of St Martin’s church

Opposing far right protesters in Birmingham.

They chose the steps of St Martin-in-the-Bull Ring for their ‘strike’, a church that is renowned for the support and sanctuary it offers to refugees (and is a participant in the Church of England’s Net Zero Programme).

Happy Pride! DIY spaces like our building are essential for queer communities and we're proud to host many grassroots groups from queer communities, not just on Pride Day. This Pride, consider taking pride in DIY spaces like ours and investing in our share offer to retrofit our building. Link in bio

Just ONE week left to invest in our Community Share Offer to retrofit the Warehouse. We're nearly there, thanks to the generosity of our community, but we still need to raise £6000 to meet our target. We'd really appreciate shares to keep getting the word out. Link in bio to invest. ☺️

Juuuust over a week left in our Share Offer and we've got £6000 left to raise. Invest from £50 to help decarbonise our building: www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/decarbonis...
Big thanks to everyone who has invested or shared - we're so nearly there and we couldn't have done this without you. 😍

Note antifascist protest 17th May. Best way to fight fascists is to protest, not to pander to their policies, in case any national leaders are looking for tips.

Marcel says don't snooze on our share offer! We still need to raise £10,000 to make it to our target and we have just 18 days left to reach our target of £46,660 (including @cooperativesuk.bsky.social ShareMatch) and become a member of Birmingham Friends of the Earth. Invest via link in our bio.

There are just three weeks left to invest in our share offer. We're over halfway there thanks to 30 generous people, but we need your help to reach our target of £46,660.
Biscuit says, please 'tail' all your friends about our share offer so they can help us put solar panels on our 'woof' (pictured).
