Review of the Year 2010-11 – Funders and Fundraising
Core Funding
Our thanks to Epsom
and Ewell Borough Council which continues to support a large part of our
management costs and which also provides office accommodation and services at
no financial cost. The Council also
funds the 20% of business rates which would otherwise be payable and reimburses
the parking costs of volunteers.
Mental Health
Outreach Funding
With underpinning funding from the National Health Service and the final instalment of our grant from LloydsTSB Foundation for England &
Wales, we were able to maintain this much needed service. We are very
grateful to Toyota (GB) for
providing additional funding which will enable us to keep the service going at
its current level through 2011-12.
County Court Desk
Funding
Funding for administrative support is given by Epsom & Ewell
Borough Council’s Housing Department through a grant provided by the Department for Communities and Local
Government towards the prevention of homelessness.
Debt Advice Funding
We have two specialist debt advisers. One is
partly funded by a grant from
Fundraising
We
estimate that we need to raise around £10,000 every year to maintain our
unrestricted reserves at the target level. This year we failed to reach this
level and we had to draw on reserves to the tune of £3,887.
Altogether
we raised £5,272. We are extremely grateful to everyone who supports us either
directly with donations or by engaging in fundraising on our behalf. However,
it is essential that we step up our fundraising activities if we are to
maintain and develop our services to the community. New fundraising ventures in
the coming year will include a lottery, website income generation, and the
promotion of a benefit concert.
·
The National Counties Building Society continued its generous support
with a further donation of £1,500.
·
Ewell
Court Residents Association raised £550 for us from two Quiz
Nights.
·
Waitrose
Epsom and its customers contributed £370.
·
A collection and raffle in the Ashley Centre raised £460.
·
A collection from a very small crowd on
a wet evening at Epsom Downs Racecourse
raised £225.
·
Many other local businesses supported
us through donations of money or raffle prizes, or provision of facilities,
including: Allam Motor Services, Boots,
Marks and Spencer, AXA,
We also received a number of unsolicited donations from
individuals and our thanks go to all who have given so generously. Go to next
