Fundraising and sustainability:
Still running public fundraisers and applying for grants.
Starting to get businesses to fund employees through the respite program.
Cost to employers is a £IOO monthly retainer and reduced rate of £450 if someone wishes
to complete a program.
CrossFit Fierce spirit in Congleton still provides the majority of physical therapy. They
provided sessions free of charge prior to the charity having funds to pay for physical
therapy.
JWC Sandbach and Holmes chapel are taking an ever increasing amount of referrals.
Heather from JWC is supporting the charity with fundraising efforts and diversifying the
charity to secure more funds from businesses.
We're looking to have at least 3 physical therapy providers in Stoke soon and expand to
gain more providers in Nantwich leaning towards Cheshire west and Chester.
