We're desperately short of money. How can we best secure funding?

Trusts & Grants

Deborah Mercer Receptionist at The Boatshed Charity Posted 3 years ago

Hi, everyone!
I have only just joined and would appreciate any advice or suggestions for funding.  I am a volunteer for a small local charity called The Boatshed Charity in Mablethorpe, Lincolnshire.  
We offer public laptop access and photocopying facilities and now, as Covid restrictions are lifting, are starting to open up our hubs again - amongst other things we have local council surgeries, offer advice with claiming benefit (especially the form-filling aspect - many older people round here aren't so happy with computers), book hospital transport, and much more besides.  The local Alchoholics Anonymous also meet here.
Frankly, at the moment we're desperately short of money.  This is a terrible worry to us and we would dread closing as this is a classic "left behind" seaside town and we are very much needed.  Suggestions would be welcome - thank you!
