The Widow's Mite @thepeoplespier - #Hastings Pier Community Share Scheme

These days talking about money seems to be a greater taboo than talking about sex etc.
Just as the question "What did you do during the war?" is a poignant question, so too is "How much did you pledge to the pier?". Are we holding ourselves and each other to account? How much of our wealth is a sensible amount to put into the pier; a tithe (one tenth)?

Some own no home (myself included) and so a significant contribution to the pier is a step away from home ownership, yet a step towards community. Is this foolishness or the act praised in the Bible - the small amount the widow gave was larger than any amount given by the rich.
Will this be "a people's pier" or largely a Hastings and St Leonards' Home Owners' pier? What percentage of the people here own their homes, let alone have a share in the pier? Respond or leave these questions as you will.

If you give money as a result of following this link, please let me know so that I can count it towards the £10,000-£20,000* target I have set for raising funds


May everyone be loved well,
Paul

*The amount raised will depend on the pier trust honouring their debt to my company, Mediation Support Ltd, for contracted, completed and (unpaid) invoiced work done.)
