Small funding pots

Funding pots are often £2000 or £5000 max. When looking for £60,000 needs a lot of applications. 

Funders changing the goalposts

Funders changing the goalposts after contract has been agreed - CCGs becoming increasingly bullish. 

Bureaucracy of funding bids

The ever increasing bureaucracy with funding bids - too much time and resource, really challenging environment to operate in. 

Referrals

Referrals - clients being referred to us from other organisations who are receiving funding. 

Funding

Losing PCT funding in 2007. This continued with CCGs for its term but no longer exists. Difficulty finding the correct person to re-apply too. 

Time spent chasing funding

Spending too much time chasing funding rather than doing our core work

Core funding

Charity struggles to find funding for rent, electricity, salaries to apply for grants/service management board etc. Projects want new work with limited core costs. 

Complex tender processes

Complex tender processes becoming more common - very difficult for small groups. 

Funders expecting you to use reserves

Funders expecting you to use reserves - making organisation vulnerable.
