AllAboutHU is a Hull-grown initiative developed specifically to give communities a substantial opportunity to seize a significant stake in their own future. Self-funded and without borrowings – allboutHU is a unique chance to make a real investment in the last great undeveloped urban conurbation in the North of England – Hull 2017 City of Culture. Hull is the remaining major city along the M62 cor
ridor yet to experience the regeneration booms seen elsewhere in the region. The city has been awarded 2017 City of Culture status and - with a Larger Urban Zone population of 573,300 - is poised to reap the significant regeneration rewards enjoyed by former City of Culture cities such as Liverpool which saw 9.7 million additional visitors and a £753.8m economic impact during its term. How do I get involved? AllAboutHU allows those seeking to grow small sums of money, to avail of a crowd-funding initiative that facilitates real, tangible bricks-and-mortar opportunities in their own community with high returns and low-risk. How does it benefit the community? AllAboutHU ensures that those who financially benefit from a city’s regeneration are the people who live there – and not some anonymous financial manager who lives elsewhere. The model is very simple - small sums of money from local people put into local property – which guarantees that both the outlay and the returns stay in the local economy.
