Crowdfunded campaigns are stressful and uncertain for the people running them who must ‘marketise’ their campaign in order to be successful, a new study shows.
Researchers Caitlin Neuwelt-Kearns and Dr Tom Baker from the University of Auckland’s School of Environment interviewed 15 people who had run online campaigns on NZ’s crowdfunding site ‘Givealittle’.
Of the 15 campaigners interviewed, eight were running campaigns for people with cancer, while others included neurological diseases, paraplegia and anorexia nervosa.
A police spokesman said two people sustained minor injuries during the incident. Three men, aged 19, 24 and 38 have been charged with burglary, kidnapping, threatening to kill, aggravated robbery, intent to injure and common assault. The 19-year-old was also charged with supply of cannabis. Security has been beefed up at the hall, according to the email to students and their families, which said all students involved were safe and being supported.
