You did it! We got match-funded!!!
Wow! You did it!!!
A massive THANK YOU to everyone who has purchased OB vouchers through our crowdfunder page - your purchases meant we exceeded our target of £4000!
We are delighted to confirm we’re being match-funded by Solent LEP Pay It Forward scheme to the tune of a whopping £2000.
The final amount of vouchers bought came to £4475. In addition to this, you generously donated £779. And Solent Local Enterprise Partnership added £2000 on top, in match-funding. This match-funding is really going to help us through the next few months, as is the cash injection provided by your voucher purchases. We can’t wait to see what you use them to buy!
And those comments… they’ll stick with us for a long time, thank you so much for your support in this campaign.
Here’s what happens next...
When can I use my OB vouchers?
The campaign is now closed, and you can use your OB vouchers right now!
How do I get my OB vouchers?
If you have opted for physical vouchers they can be collected from the shop as of today!
We are open for collections Mon/Wed/Fri/Sat 10am-4pm, we are only currently open for browsing 11am-2pm on these days.
If you’d like your physical vouchers posted out to you (or a lucky recipient!), please let us know.
If you have opted to use your proof of purchase as your voucher, you will just need to state your name or pledge/invoice number when you wish to spend them at the shop.
What can I spend my vouchers on?
You can spend your vouchers on any item in October Books - books, stationary, cards, food, household items, kids books, tea and coffee. Take your pick!
If you want to be a superstar, you could use it to donate items to the local food bank!
Don’t forget, as well as your vouchers, you’re getting a treat when you come in to spend them!
£10 OB voucher - you get a free pack of Eat Real crisps
£25 OB voucher - you get a free bar of Divine or Seed & Bean chocolate
£50 OB voucher - you get a free Blind Date With A Book book
£100 OB voucher - you get an additional £10 voucher, giving you a whopping £110 to spend in the shop
What’s the catch?
There is no catch! But there are some terms and conditions...
Rewards are to be collected when vouchers are redeemed.
Vouchers cannot be exchanged for money.
If vouchers are not redeemed in full, change will be given in vouchers and not cash.
Did you miss the campaign completely and feel bad…? don’t worry - you can still buy October Books vouchers from us. Just get in touch with us directly and we’ll fix you up!
These won’t be match-funded, but you will still be helping us out no end, so don’t delay!
