Yessers are being asked to donate and support a city centre hub
special democracy conference in March and have it act as a central location to distribute campaign materials, answer queries and provide a place for supporters to get together.
The crowdfunder goal is £6,000. Just over £400 has been raised so far and volunteers are calling for Yes supporters to “give what they can”. The original Edinburgh Yes Hub was opened a few months prior to the 2014 referendum and was kept going by volunteers since in various locations. The Hub manager, Mike Blackshaw, passed away in November and this set the Hub’s course for closure.
The fundraiser, started by Mike Wallace, is to help secure a new venue and volunteers hope the initial fundraiser can cover leasing costs for a few months.Wallace, a retired engineer from Prestonpans, pointed out that no city in Scotland has a Yes hub in a central location with heavy footfall – something the group wants to change.chapter, in an accessible and high profile area. We want to set up the Hub in a properly constituted way, keep a social media presence, and sell merchandise.
