Expected impact

This is in response to our feedback and surveys at our pride by the harbourside event in September which was attended by over 3k despite expecting only 500. There was a huge request for a permanent safe venue. The supply chain and existing funders are keen to get involved , we hope you will visit our website and see images of what response our outreach had last month. There is a clear, identified need plus a feasibility response far in excess of even our thoughts. I hope you will support us not just now but going forward. We would love to create something magical with strategic partners such as your great firm. Rural communities often lack clear vision and professional planning strategies to secure long term visions. Our team is all about longevity . Our communities are here, they're growing but they continue to be vulnerable and subject to bigotry and hate. EDI should be at the forefront of organisations, that's not always the case though. I know your organisation does !! Thanks

Track record

A feedback score of 4.6 out of 5 for our recent event via survey monkey. A huge group of partners already in place for our outreach work. Connection and support from Haverigg prison to help us make alterations using a prisoners workforce which makes us proud !! SELLAFIELD and its partners are already our biggest outreach sponsors. 99 percent of people asked supported idea of permanent centre creation for safe space activities. Over 500 people asked . Building identified and lease ready to be signed once our total funding is secure and our business plan completed by an independent 3rd party firm for social enterprise companies such as ourselves.
