OTHER FUNDED AcTni￿lEs
We had fc(ecast (a￿1engeS in raising adequate funds to sustain our Welthing Centre actiwbe$.
A laryJe number oftrusts had supported organisatKJns in peril during thefirst loCkdo￿S. and much
ofthe avalable funding seemed frKused at supporting organisations trdang immedrdte hardships.
There was less money available and more competrtion for fiJrKling. Wth the Un￿rtaInty of the
govemment's direcliw throughout the pandemic it was also difficult to plan building-based
activitses that may have faced restrictions and further closure. We were ab￿ to secure fu￿JIng to
develop our around SUp￿ting people living wlth dementia, moving away from the
tradth.onal dropin café mcmjel. We were also able to start developing theme-ba5ed sessions.

The funding landscape is likely to be very challeThJing in the coming year WTth infiation rising and
the cosi of INing crisis brtirNJ. Forecasts are raising concems of a UK ￿Ce&s1On that will impad
