Request Details
Our Streets Now are moving into a soft relaunch as part of their broader work fighting public street harassment. Our work in getting PSH legislated into a crime is on track - as we see the bill focused on this come into Parliament we have looked internally and want to widen the scope of our outputs. Looking at disrupting institutions that need to address PSH. We to keep instep with our unapologetic and radical grassroots approach it means we are in need of creating a revenue stream that can support our activism, rather than us just becoming a deliverable focused NGO. 

The core members have put together a committee: named individuals in a newly formed group from different teams of the wider OSN umbrella, to push fundraising along with our socials - looking at how to produce content that forwards our refreshed brand and has improved UX experience.

The money is to get those named individuals and operations lead in a room. 

We also wish to produce printed fundraising packs so that people can learn about ways they can raise money and profile for OSN. 

We also would like to pay for the expertise of our core members if the hours given to this task increases outside of their agreed time.

As OSN is now in the post pandemic world we have been met with new challenges as we were created solely online. Now we want to develop ideas in physical spaces and have that shared through our pre-existing social channels which are the backbone to OSN. 

Getting our message out there and as a result donations to come back - furthering our mission in the fight against PSH.

Thank you
