Hey @richardedwards.me I can't help wondering if Nook CRM might be able to play nicely with this Civi #communityshares extension for #communityenergy

Love this @culturalclare.bsky.social - we have a couple of case studies of how community-owned pubs have used #SocialInvestment (inc. #blendedfinance #communityshares and #crowdfunding) to their re-open doors.

Most recent one here > www.goodfinance.org.uk/case-studies...
Glan Yr Afon (Riverside Pub) | Good Finance
Glan Yr Afon is a valued pub within the community in Pennal, which came under hardship during the Covid-19 pandemic, it is now community-owned after an initiative to save the pub.

I should've tagged the #CommunityShares Unit on here too! @comshares.bsky.social

But the FSMA exemptions make it possible for Societies to easily and cheaply offer #CommunityShares to the general public in ways Companies are unable to do.
December 2, 2024 at 9:21 AM
Technically the cap is something like "enough to attract and retain investment".

Societies offer #WithdrawableShares (what have become known as #CommunityShares) which are not supposed to be purely about financial return and are exempt from various parts of the FSMA that regulates share offers

Wonderful to hear about the community coming together to sustain it's local pub, creating new homes and allotments!
