Para 1.20 | Within the past 12 months, the charity has set up its own bank account, charity and website. These two activities took longer than expected, due to limited funds and long back log from the banks. We have also managed to collaborate with a few other organisations willing to support our cause. These organisations are helping us deliver work placements opportunities, and tutoring services. We have advertised for social media officers, counsellors and tutors. We also have an accountant and a funding consultant. We have started to put together priority policies to ensure we are adhering to the governance. Some local authorities have expressed interest in our work placement programme, we are currently liaising with them to ensure we are able to offer work placement to their children in care (looked after children). |
