QPR in the Community Trust is giving R’s fans the chance to play their part in an exciting new community project charting the social history of QPR Football Club and the local area.
In partnership with CrowdBnk, QPR Trust is seeking donations to support funding for ‘
The Story of QPR’ – an intergenerational media project in collaboration with the Octavia Foundation culminating in the production of a heritage website and documentary film around Rangers and the communities close to Loftus Road.
As a token of appreciation for your donation, supporters can get exciting rewards ranging from breakfast at the Training Ground and watching the R’s first-team train to a VIP invite to the film premiere or having your name appear on the DVD!
Fans can donate from as little as £20 to help the Trust achieve their ultimate goal of £30,000.
Andy Evans, CEO of QPR in the Community Trust, told www.qpr.co.uk: “QPR in the Community Trust along with our partners at Octavia Foundation are really excited after receiving funding towards ‘The Story of QPR’ project from the Premier League and the PFA.
“This is a unique project as it will engage with generations of R’s fans as well as local residents, past and present, and those with roots in the area.
“This project is about identity, local social history and, most importantly, offering young people the chance to learn new skills.
“However, to make the project a success we have partnered with CrowdBnk as we need to fundraise a further £30,000. This is where we need our loyal supporters to make the project possible. We have a range of donation levels that we hope will be of interest to any QPR fan.”
40 young people will be recruited and trained in film-making, media, research and heritage skills as part of the production of the film and other accompanying materials, including a podcast, soundtrack and website.
Ayan Mitra, CEO of CrowdBnk, added: “We are very excited to be working with QPR Trust on this amazing project. “The Story of QPR revolves around the communities in and around Loftus Road and is going to be delivered by young people in the community.
“This resonates with the vision behind CrowdBnk which enables ideas to get off the ground with the support of people who feel passionately about them. This is an excellent example of the social and financial impact crowdfunding can have.”
The Trust will only receive the money if the target of £30,000 is reached. If not, your money is returned.
