Have recently completed three small funding applications: nothing for salaries though.
We are looking to restart our indoor fitness sessions, available to all ages and abilities, that we have had such success with in the past. That would be back at the three Better gyms we were using prior to lockdown: Sobell Centre and Highbury Leisure in Islington, and Pancras Leisure in Camden. Contacting Better is a bit of a nightmare, but we are hopeful of success. The funding we have applied for would cover the cost of the studio, plus the cost of our Personal Trainer, and a contribution to some equipment (we cannot use the gym studio stuff due to Covid), and insurance.
We have also just finished an application to a London Groundwork fund, re our Izzwalkz, to get them properly started in 2021. It would cover the two current walks we were doing prior to lockdown in Clissold Park and Highbury Fields, plus a new one in Finsbury Park in the first year, and a further new one in Kings Cross in the second year (2022).
Funding applications can be quite stressful, but I think we produced some good ones, and as we have not developed some crucial links with local organisations and centres, I am hopeful that at least one or two, and maybe all three, can be successful.
Of course, ultimately, we need to find seed funding.
