Challenges & Needs

  • The local council supports us by paying a contribution for each young adult who benefits from our services.
  • Until we have the capacity to care for up to 30 people, our regular expenditure exceeds our income for the current 12 people in care as many of the costs are front ended - e.g. staff/beneficiaries ratios are higher than they will be, resource is needed to manage the build and expand the Charity, we have transport needs for those in care etc. - normal start-up/ growth issues.
  • Also, while generous donations have funded the land purchase and enabled us to construct purpose-built premises, we will need money for furniture and other fixtures and fittings.
  • We therefore have a funding need of c. £60,000 over the next 12 months to help cover both of these costs.
