Fundraising

We have lots of fun with our fundraising activities.  There is a core group where we come up with ideas and projects to raise money to keep the hub open but there are other individual projects which need their own fundraising efforts.

“What fun do I have with fundraising? Doing things I wouldn’t normally do, pushing myself out of my comfort zone, finding props for when events happen and most of all, when we’ve done what we’ve got to do sitting round, talking about the project, how it started as a seed and grew into a great event, with a glass of wine with the friends who have worked together.  Fundraising, volunteering, I definitely recommend it”.  Nicola

“I’m part of a wonderful small fundraising ‘committee’ – really a chance for us to get together over coffee and explore creative ideas.  There’s lots of laughter and enthusiasm and then we figure out how we’re going to put all our plans into action!  On the day we gather together with others to run them.  It can be frantic but it’s enormous fun and we get a great feeling of camaraderie as a result”.  Laura

Our priority project

Workshop recovery programme

The pandemic has left a long-lasting scar on the women we support and the cost of living crisis has made things worse. Women's mental health has declined as the demands on them increase. Services are struggling to support those who come to them for help. As more and more women slip through the net they come to us at their wits end crippled with anxiety and looking for help with finding jobs, finding a way forward, finding themselves.

Yet we too have been affected as our funders reduce the grants available whilst the competition for them increases. We can offer support but need to raise £5,031 to provide eight professionally facilitated workshops over the next 12 months in accessible venues. That could help more than 100 women get jobs, be able to stand up to those who take advantage of them, to transform their lives. Will you help? Make a donation now and in the comments box tell us it is for the workshop recovery programme.
