Dear supporters of Bottled. 

Happy New Year! 

As we enter 2021, we are aware what a difficult 12 months have just passed and that there might be a little while to go before things get back to normal. We also recognise that, as the pandemic continues to take centre stage, issues around mental ill-health, loneliness and anxiety are also brewing under the surface. As we’ve said all along, we want Bottled to be at the forefront of work with young people in supporting them through these uncertain and potentially damaging times. 

It’s impossible to express how grateful we are for your support during our crowdfunding campaign. As a result of your support, and having reached 85% of our target, we are now confident 2021 is the year we will begin work on publication of Bottled. And as we are so close, we’re writing to you with one last request.  

Its quite simple- if all of you who have pledged towards the project so far were to upgrade your pledge and donate a further £5, we would reach our target! That means we would be one step closer to getting Bottled into the hands of young people and educators up and down the country who need it. 

We recognise two things: 

1. Many of you have donated generously to our project already.
2. For many, this time of year is incredibly difficult financially. 

And so it’s only with great trepidation that we make this request, in full recognition of the sheer generosity you have already shown. 

But if you did feel able to contribute that extra fiver to our campaign to get it over the line, here’s what you need to do. 

Log in to your Unbound account. 
Find Bottled in your supported projects. 
Click manage project. 
Scroll down to the orange box to upgrade or donate. 
Either choose to upgrade to a different pledge level or simply donate. 

Thank you so much for your support so far, it really does mean the world to both of us. We’d love to reach the finish line as quickly as possible in 2021. Could you help us get there? 

Take care of yourselves and we wish you and your loved ones a happy, healthy and hope-filled new year.
