How to get involved

Pledging is not a commitment — it simply tells us how much you might invest once the share offer opens. Pledges help us:
• Demonstrate community support
• Unlock grant funding
• Strengthen our purchase bid

Shares will be priced at £500 each, with accessible minimum investment levels.
‍

Let us know if you want to stay informed, invest, volunteer, or support the project. This helps us build momentum and demonstrate demand.

Once the CBS is formally established, we will launch a regulated community share offer. Investors will:
• Become members of the Hoops Society
• Have an equal vote
• Support a long‑term community asset

If you prefer to support without becoming a shareholder, donations will help cover legal, survey, and early refurbishment costs. This can be done as an individual or via corporate sponsorship. More details to follow.

We welcome help with:
• Fundraising
• Events
• Communications
• Professional skills (legal, finance, building, hospitality)
• Practical refurbishment tasks

Local businesses can support through:
• Discounted services
• Materials
• Corporate sponsorship (see PDF below)
• In‑kind contributions
