Some very special news from Sean’s Place to end the week.
We are absolutely delighted to share that Sean’s Place has been awarded four years of funding from The National Lottery Community Fund through Reaching Communities. ❤️
After what has been a challenging year of funding uncertainty, this really does feel like a huge weight lifted.
Despite the scale of the work we do, Sean’s Place receives no government funding to keep our service running. We rely on grants, donations, fundraising and the incredible partnerships we have built within our community to keep our doors open and ensure our support remains completely free for the thousands of men and boys who need us.
Every year brings the worry of whether we will raise enough to cover our costs and continue providing the support our members rely on. This four-year investment gives us some stability and the ability to plan ahead with some much-needed peace of mind.
It doesn’t fund everything we do, and fundraising will always remain incredibly crucial in keeping Sean’s Place going, but having this commitment behind us for the next four years helps massivley.
A huge thank you to The National Lottery Community Fund and, of course, to every National Lottery player who makes funding like this possible.
And to everyone who has donated, fundraised, partnered with us or simply believed in what we do, thank you. You continue to help us keep our lights on, our doors open and our support available to those who need us ❤️
