1. Hi! So a quick overview of what I'd love to run through over the next 20 mins: 
I'm going to explain what civic crowdfunding is, 
give you a feel for the kind of projects that use Spacehive and the impact they create, 
explain how we work with partners and walk you through an example 
After that, hopefully we can have a chat about how civic crowdfunding could work in your area.

6. SOCIAL & ECONOMIC IMPACT
If you look at what that means for local places - and we've had several excellent reports dig into this -- you see:
2.3m people have used or visited Spacehive projects
4,300 acres of space have been improved
122 enterprises have been started off the back of projects and 494 jobs have been created.
82% of backers say that being involved in projects made them feel more proud of their area.
91% say they feel more empowered to change things locally.
And there's much more - we have an incredible mix of metrics which we collect about the impact on local places, the perceptions of backers in the wider community, and the impact on project creators themselves in terms of skills they developed.
