Raised £24k in grants and donations to give back to those in need within
the communty Of which 77% was restricted funding and 230
unrestricted funding. £23k has already been used to support those in
need as stated in section C or allocated to the upcoming community calé
project.
Swale Communty Care Project has developed a networf( of local
collection points for donations. along with Lrtilising crowd funding and
website aC￿ss. Key local ftjndraising community events have been
utilised for fundraising, community engagement and networking.
Publicity is through our website. social media accounts and local media.
Commun
Café
The last 9 months have been dedicated to fundraising and exploring
venues for our communty café project. This ha5 been successful in
secunng Lottery funding for premises and grants for setup and
equipment. Getting the right location and venue has been very difficult
with high rental prices and poor quality properties.
We are in the prO￿sS of securing a community space in a prime
Sittingboume location as part of a multiple charity community hub project.
Partnering with other local organisations lo bring a range of services
together under one roof for the benefit of those in need has big potential
for overlapping benefits and maximising beneficiary enhancement. In
addition the shanng of overheads and selup costs brings additional
efficiency in delivering the project. We expect to sign the rental
agreemerrt in the next month.
