development process includes a priority
-
setting exercise which
provides an opportunity for ensuring the staff are not overloaded.
Dependency of limited income sources; funding
sources becoming harder to access because of
economic downturn
EFN has a very diverse membership and works in areas
(environment and its intersection with social and health issues)
with many potential funders to approach. It has good
relationships with existing funders and a broad range of funders
to approach for bot
h membership contributions and grants. We
have a fundraising plan in place and regular fundraising
meetings.
Environmental issues heightening leads to more
pressure on the sector
As demand for our services rises, hopefully so too does
membership income, enabling us to meet them. Our strength as a
network organisation may be for members to help each other
manage the effects of environmental issues on their
organisations.
The current uncertain geopolitical situation leads
to more pressure on the sector
The recent speed and scale of changes means it is hard to
understand what the impacts might be or actions we might take.
The staff & trustees are prioritising this as an issue and looking to
support the sector and our members on it
-
we are considering
se
tting
up a '
’political and social context’ funder
interest group to
look at these issues collectively.
