As always, funding is the bane of organisations like ourselves. We love what we do, and everyone praises our work, but salary funding is so elusive. We clearly provide a cracking service, so why is it so hard to get paid for it?
I am currently looking to apply to around ten different organisations which I have ascertained we fit the criteria for their funding wishes. Naturally, if we get anything is down to pot luck.
During the Covid pandemic we have been lucky enough to get certain pieces of funding for various projects, and I have just applied to Cripplegate for help with monthly packs, exercise sessions, and some video work.
Our main focus is the DWP. On March 11th, Lawrence promoted HMHB to over 100 representatives of the North London DWP, which we were told after went down very well. We were recommended by Kentish Town Job Centre, and even Jeremy Corbyn sent in a terrific letter asking them to help find us the resources we needed to work with the Job Centres in multiple boroughs. We have still heard nothing back, despite the praise. It is SOOO frustrating.
I will chase them up after making this posting. We deserve our chance. We deserve salaries. Why is it so so hard????
