Introduction
Dear All,
Thank you for your support this month. Your support has been so important to us and those who have been using the vouchers. This month, we are in the process of consolidating our processes and establishing new protocols given we want to become a charity and also expand our network of cafes. Therefore this is a transition period and we appreciate the patience of our donors and our service users as we make the adjustments. We have tried to minimise the issuing of vouchers these few months to enable us to transition better to fit a new model of operation. We understand that the money we are holding should not be kept in the bank and so we are also thinking of a way to still benefit the more vulnerable in the society while we are undergoing the transition to the new mode of operation.
Main News
1. We have submitted and awaiting results on our charity status application. It will take up to three months for the process so we are hoping to get the charity status by early next year.
2. We had our largest fundraising event of the year where we had a lot of fun. Please find a sample of the photos of the event further along the page. One feedback by our guest:
"we had a great day. all the activites were well oraganised and intresting . kids had great fun and remember most the science corner . cant stop talking about the volcano ,mixing the soda and other ingredientsand watching it erupt"
3. We are in the process of expanding to new cafes/food outlets. Keep a lookout for further updates on this. A place we are considering: a bake potato shop.
4. We are also hoping to expand our services to other organisations.
5. We are looking to start our first big project to prepare the more vulnerable in Edinburgh for the winter...information to follow.
Accounts and Voucher Usage
Below are our accounts for this month. Basically we raised a net of £495.86 from our fundraising event. This month 47 vouchers were redeemed with our main users being One Parent Families. We are issuing out 30 vouchers for this month and trying to close the gap on the number of vouchers that have yet to be redeemed.
