For many local residents, we have been a lifeline when no one else was there. 6. Challenges This Year This year has brought significant strain: Severe reduction in available grant funding across the sector. Only small funding pots available but the needs of the community extremely high. Increased demand - more families are now in poverty and relying on support. Rising operational and utility costs threatening sustainability. Higher need for foodbank resources and crisis intervention. Growing mental health and wellbeing pressures among residents. Despite these challenges, our team has worked tirelessly to maintain access and protect services, people in need and our communities. 7. Partnership Spotlight Realise Training Our partnership with REALISE, a national training provider, has been invaluable. Over the past 12 months, Realise have delivered a wide range of free training courses from The Attic, supporting local residents to upskill, gain confidence, and move closer to employment. Many participants have since successfully transitioned into paid work, which we are incredibly proud of. Beyond life-changing outcomes for learners, the partnership has: Provided essential room-hire income helping us cover vital bills. Supported our survival during the most challenging financial period to date. Contributed food donations to our emergency foodbank. Offered volunteer help, goodwill, and shared community commitment.
osect We sincerely thank Realise for choosing to work with us. This partnership has not only changed lives - it helped us create an additional income stream helping keep our charitv open when it was needed most. 8. Looking Forward Our priority for the coming year is to: Secure new funding streams to protect essential services. Build on partner relationships and expand community collaborations. Strengthen sustainability, reduce risk. and increase resilience. Grow capacity to meet increasing the needs within our communities. Continued trustee 8uidance and support will be key as we navigate a challenging but hopeful future. 9. Closing Statement The Attic Project remains a vital lifeline for vulnerable people in Bury.
