About this Event
JARSQUAD brings people together through communal food-preservation, to practice sharing ingredients, recipes, and know-how by making jams and preserves as a ‘squad’.
We'll welcome in the new year by making more tasty treats (and clearing space in our freezer) such as pumpkin chutney and more plum-based fruit leather.
Our Chop & Chat guest will be announced soon!
No experience necessary, just a willingness to get chatting and decorating/painting! and involved with some food prep and cooking. :)
- PLEASE LET US KNOW if you have any food allergies or additional needs in advance.
- PLEASE BYO APRON (if you have one - it helps us lots to launder less!), and hair ties and/or caps

A NOTE ON CHOOSING YOUR CONTRIBUTION
JarSquad runs as a solidarity economy and we offer sliding scale fees and free tickets as it is important to us that our events are financially accessible for everyone.
Do offer what you can joyfully and meaningfully give to help us cover things outside our Exchange Rate. These include our overheads, venue costs, and the energy we contribute so we can keep the project going.
We warmly welcome chats about what it means to co-create a gift economy, and how we already participate in alternative and diverse economies here in Plymouth.
We have some free tickets for those who can't otherwise afford to attend. We also have set CONCESSION / STANDARD / SOLIDARITY contributions, as well as SOMETHING IN BETWEEN (Choose-What-You-Give) or bring an IN-PERSON DONATION if you're unaccustomed to making online payments, and would prefer to bring a cash donation on the day.
The statements below may help you assess what to choose:
== Please have a FREE ticket if that's what you need ==
== GIVE £1-£5: If you are on benefits, state pensions, or very low income and with no assets
== GIVE £6-£11: If you earn an income that enables you/your household to meet your basic needs
== GIVE £12-£16 (or more in solidarity): Your offering helps retain one standard place, and one concession place so someone can attend for free.

There's no obligation for you to stay the entire duration but it would be great to have as much of your company as possible.
We're limited to 8 persons per 75 minute slot, and have lots of various jobs that'll need your special touch!

In addition to your ticket contribution, we'd welcome any extra fruit or supplies you'd like to offer/trade using our exchange rate (image below) onsite.
