Funding

Trusts & Grants

Steve Smith Centre Manager at Sidcup Debt Advice Posted 3 days ago

Hi Ocean and all - sorry I haven't been the most active of participants (!) but our Debt Service is so busy it's hard to divert from that to funding - and also have a life!
We are not the largest - income of around £15K but always looking for funding! £10K, 5K, 1K, .5K, £1 ! 
Myself and my colleague are contracted 7hrs a week and this costs the charity £224 a week for both - we are the biggest drain but Admin for Debt is huge! Our clients are mostly homeless or coming off substance / alcohol so there is a lot of Admin and Zooms for the Volunteer Advisors. We are part of the Network run by Community Money Advice (CMA) and we use their Software as well as their brilliant helpline - every day is a schoolday! 
Anyway, I hope you're all well yourselves and if you hear of any funders who might way to pass £1 upwards to us please let me know!
Regards
Steve Smith
