Thanks for this Simon. We're still searching for Star People in your area, getting some good contacts. Any publicity is always appreciated. Kind regards, Nickie & Lorna

Hi Lee, We'd be happy to hand out your fliers. As a starting point we're going to be at Gobowen Library on Tuesday 16th July between 10am - 1pm, could we meet up then or is there another time better for you? Regards, Nickie

Thanks Maggie, that's really useful for us to know.

That looks like a good topic Lee, thanks for that. I'll have a trawl through it in a bit. We are looking for all sorts of groups in your area like parent and toddler groups, art clubs, post offices, supermarkets, libraries which we can come to and meet people who may be interested. If you have any suggestions that would be great. Would you all be up for a meet up soon ?

Thanks Simon and Lee. Yes Maggie we are based in Shrewsbury at the Business Park but our work covers Shropshire. We can always come out to you if you want to meet up. We have only recently got involved and need to come up and get to know the area better and meet some local people. We can offer additional support as Shropshire RCC. As an organisation we have a Social Enterprise Business Outreach Coach, Shropshire Volunteering Team, a Funding Advisor , so there is lots of support available.

Hi Maggie, We're the Star Partner for your area, Andy is still involved. But we're identifying local Star People and supporting them :) Might be a good idea to meet up about the group so we can find out more about it all? Let me know when's best. Regards, Nickie

We are looking for 'Star People' who we can award funding to for great ideas to improve their local area. Are you a community and social entrenpreneur who we can help expand and grow your idea with money and support? Shropshire RCC is working with UnLtd Star People to identify potential individuals in the Three Parishes area who have a 'can do' attitude, who know their area, who have a great idea that responds to an issue or opportunity in the local area and who are passionate about making a difference. There are 3 different awards - Try It - small amounts up to £500, which will be awarded to individuals to try out their ideas to improve their local area. Do It - awards up to £5,000. Unltd Star People who have completed Try It award may now feel confident enough and have honed their ideas to be able to develop their project. Others may come straight in at this level as they demonstrate they have the energy and skills to take forward an idea that has some project planning already. Build It - awards up to £15,000 to individuals who have an established social venture or community project. If you are interested in finding out more about the awards, please contact Nickie Edwards at Shropshire RCC on 01743 237872 or email nickie.edwards@shropshire-rcc.org.uk
