@SELFA_Emma @TimecentresL @IVAR_UK @NPCthinks @DSC_Charity @SocialChangeAg @naomi_southwell We were discussing this as a team yesterday! We are a tiny charity, we have funding for 2 part-time salaries. But that particular funder wants so much monitoring that half the staff time is being spent on admin for the funder!!

Surely there has to be a better way of funding small charities? Our income is around £350k a yr & we have 35 different funders, all asking us to report back individually. @IVAR_UK @NPCthinks @DSC_Charity @SocialChangeAg @naomi_southwell - Can you help change the system?! 1/5 🧵

@vohts_uk & @MaggiesVoice1 have been incredible partners to work with on our Family Well-being project; Find Your Voice! 👏🏽 10 Families supported, over 20 weeks. 5 children now in After-schools Club 🙌🏽 Thanks to our Funders: @ArnoldClark @1910Trust @ButeEnergy @InterlinkRCT
