New for 2018
This year Aviva is partnering with Crowdfunder UK to give people the chance to raise extra funds for their project. As they collect votes they will also be able to choose to crowdfund and turn support into pledges.
Aviva will also be launching a new community group on Facebook, providing practical support on topics like how to use social media effectively and to build a community network.
