Th8 ProJ8ct has h8d regular income during the year from grants. Income i8 also generated from donaltons and fijnd raising aCvI8S which have allowed r8gutar running and maintenance costs lo be met. At th8 core of our belief Is that withln every community, no matter the level of disadvantage, there is the solulion to the problems peopl8 face. Our aim is not lo tell people what they should do. but to support and encourage them to identfy the solLrtiong. develop the activity and service, and then to deliver it. As an organisalion we have learned that this works through the activllles and seryices delivered by our volunle8rs. We began with a week of o)mmunty-based actNities In 2008, al which we encourage(I people to identfy what was needed tr) help Ih8m change their lives, and al which we challenged the same people lo help design and deliver the solutions. This Is still the way we operate setVi¢gs froin.. Bolsovef. Clown8, Shirebrook, South Nomanton and Mansfield.
