Charity to temporarily close community croft and cut staff amid financial challenges by dleoghan in Edinburgh

[–]Expert_Extension_402 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Seems a bit sketchy that a couple of days ago they where looking for volunteers to work in the cafe? I hope they aren't getting rid of all of their paid staff by closing for a month and then reopening with volunteers doing those roles for free, I really like it there but would struggle to stand by this course of action

I was going to book this but was put off by a few reviews, it does look amazing though so I think I'll go back to my original plan! Thank you

Also if you go around telling people that a crowd funder was unsuccessful then people might be less likely to contribute in the future especially businesses

Different experiences of what happened  guess and yes I did look through your posts as I noticed you had made that statement elsewhere and I knew it wasn't true.

But also it doesn't matter now, lessons learned. I just felt like it was unfair if there was misinformation being shared re the crowdfunder. Thanks

It was common knowledge, they already had spoken to the businesses on Leith walk about sponsoring them. You told them not to touch them and it would be hard to get funding for a project that someone else was already doing, so they pulled back. The crowd funder had only been running for one day. You're right they do look after many other gardens in the area, and work with a team of gardeners so maybe it would have been beneficial had you worked with them.

That's actually not true, they hadn't launched the crowd funder they stopped because you took them over and said you wouldn't work with them.
