I've recently started working as a part-time fundraiser for a community interest company that provides well-being services.

There wasn't a fundraiser in post for a while and there has been no proper handover for me. I have recently discovered that one of our projects is about to run out of funding (in one month's time). I have an application to a previous funder ready to go, but of course the turnaround may be a few months. I will also be applying to our local council who accept request for urgent funding but again, I don't know what the turnaround is (have asked them but they are being very slow/not answering phone).

Just wondering if anyone has any ideas what to do in this situation? We will need to pause the project until we get funding which will be so disappointing for the people it supports (older people for whom the weekly yoga and community sessions are a lifeline). So I wondered if anyone knows any routes to receiving urgent funding, i.e. with a lead in time for a month?
Thank you
