We apply for funding in several different areas within the Project. Our aim is to support and enable our residents in as many ways as possible to lead fulfilling and successful lives.
Our funding priorities include:
Mental Health & Wellbeing Support
Having funding available to assist residents who need mental health and wellbeing support from registered therapists. NHS waiting lists are overstretched and waiting up to 12 months for a referral can be detrimental. Having funding available to offer immediate help is often crucial.
Enrichment Activities
Our Support Team are able to offer workshops and activities to our residents thanks to funding recently received, including DJ & art workshops, basketball games and weekly cooking sessions. These activities are vital to help our residents gain trust in our team and each other, build positive relationships and boost confidence.
Starter Packs
When a new resident joins us, they often have very little. We give every new resident a Starter Pack which includes bedding, towels, basic cooking utensils, crockery and toiletries. Receiving funding from donors is enabling us to expand the items we can offer.
Moving On Packs
When our residents become ready to move on from the Project to live independently, they are often offered a completely empty property which can be overwhelming and daunting. Our Moving On packs can offer financial support with necessities such as carpets, curtains, white goods etc. to make the transition more comfortable.
