Funding

As an independent registered charity we are responsible for raising funds for all our work.

We receive grants from both the Nottingham City Council’s Children’s Services and Nottinghamshire County Council’s Children and Young People’s Department. In addition we raise additional funds from subscriptions received from participating schools and donations from grant making trusts, the corporate sector and individuals.

Offers of funding for our general activities, for development or for specific activities or items are always welcome and mutually advantageous publicity can be arranged. Alternatively we will gratefully receive bona fide “Anonymous” donations. 

Our main items of expenditure are staffing, volunteers' travelling expenses and books, games and other resources for children. 

We also welcome offers of help in kind such as books and games. We particularly welcome help with fund-raising, promotion and publications. 

Our grateful thanks are extended to the following organisations and individuals for providing financial support or goods or services in kind to our cause during the year 2009/10.
