500 Together want as many people as possible to sign up and pay £1 per week by standing order to a central pot. When they hit £500 they will give that money out to one or more of the worthy causes that paying members choose to nominate. This could be the full £500 or part thereof. The aim is to get to the point where they will give out £500 every single week.

Hello Sheffield, it's us again, the Help Sheffield Elves.
This is episode 8 and this week we're talking to Sidney and Matilda owner and founder Al Daw. He opened his venue, on the corner of Sidney and Matilda Streets, just over a year ago so we thought we'd talk to him about his art gallery/club/event venue and see how he got to where he is and what plans he has for the venue in the future. So if you're into art, events organising, music then it might be of interest to you.
