I need your help to get CHUNK open!

Hi, my name is Amy and I started CHUNK 3 years ago while studying at University. What began as a weekend hobby to help pay my bills, turned into a full on passion project and has taken over my life in the best way possible. I've put my everything into CHUNK over the past 3 years, from baking in the kitchen of my student shared house and delivering by bicycle, to being a 2023 Young Trader of the Year category winner. In summer this year I made the decision that it was time for us to open our first ever bakery.

I had planned, and saved, and waited for 3 years until the time was right, I budgeted and took into account extras. However after starting works at the bakery, it became apparent the building was unsafe. There were exposed live gas pipes, there was no gas meter, no hot water, no heating, and unsafe electrics, and after going back and forth and arguing with the landlord it unfortunately looks like it's us that are going to have to pay for the repairs.

Setting up a GoFundMe hasn't been an easy decision, but with rent looming, an increasing need to get open before Christmas, and the overwhelming support we've received over the past few days with so many people asking to help, it only seems fair to offer people the option to help, as it would be really, really appreciated at such a difficult time.

Any donation will be appreciated by us more than you know, and we only hope to give back to the community in the same way once we're open. As a start, we'll be offering anyone who donates a 20% discount code to be used in the bakery once we open (I'll work out how to send it to you by email!), as we'd love nothing more than you to come and say hi so we can say a big thank you.

Thank you for taking the time to read,

Amy
