Our plans for next year include the successful delivery of on8oin8 projects, the acquiring of the AQS accreditation, bid writing training for staff members. and the urgent application for funding grants to support all the various projects and services and activities we deliver.
TREASURE'S REPORT (August 2021- July 20221 This financial year was less active than the last financial year after the funding from both The National Lottery Community Fund and ESFA endin8 by November 2021. This caused our income to drop from £74658 in mainly restricted funds to £43032 of which 14320 were non-restricted funds, highlighting an urgent need to apply for and secure more restricted funding for new specific projects to sustain our service5 to our target 8roup and local community. We have no deficit issue5 this year, and our account5 are in cohesion with planned expenditure. We have initiated the submitted of an extension of our Positive Journey project funding from The National Lottery Community Fund for the next three years to be able to continue to deliver the very important employability support services to our target group in these difficult times. Next year, we will again work hard to make sure that fundraising remains a priority and that we succeed in securing more essential funding. Report by Jessica Olanya.
