Fundraising
As a Community Interest Company (CIC) we prioritise making our support financially accessible. Our fundraising enables us to do this.

At the moment we are fundraising to buy a permanent site for Transitions.​​

Corporate fundraising, sponsored challenges and individual donations
There have been lots of wonderful donations made as people have followed their hobbies. This has ranged from corporate fundraising to craft creations sold on a small scale. Perhaps your organisation is looking for a local cause to support, in which case we would welcome us being named in an event like The Great North Run. Our last sponsorship raised £200 at the Great North Swim, where Hannah our Director swam 2 miles in Lake Windemere. Alternatively, if that is not your thing and you'd like to sell some cakes on a stall in a local fair then we'd welcome your contribution, as our recent young person raised £70 from her cake sale.
