Wow! Our campaign total has climbed to £171.50! A huge thank you to everyone who has contributed.

This week's theme of 'Letting Go' perfectly highlights stories like our amazing volunteer, Michelle White, who showed incredible generosity by selling her late husband's drum kit to support us. Her act reminds us that sometimes, letting go for good can create a huge impact for others.

Can you support our cause by letting go of something for the community, or by donating directly? Every little bit truly helps us power our vital services. Scan the QR code or clicking the link https://localgiving.org/fundraising/Crisis-Electricity-Bill to contribute today!

🚨 EVERY POUND = A LIFE TRANSFORMED 🚨
This isn't just a fundraiser - it's a LIFELINE for our community.
Right now, families are struggling. Children need safe spaces. People are battling mental health crises alone. And we're here, ready to help - but we need YOUR support to keep our doors open.
Look at the REAL impact of your donation:
💝 £25 = One child gets a month of youth club activities, building confidence and friendships
🧠 £50 = Someone in crisis gets instant mental health support when they need it most
🍽️ £200 = 40 families receive emergency food parcels during their darkest hours
🎓 £500 = Educational programmes reach vulnerable children in local schools
🏠 £750 = On-site mental health support available instantly at Happy Hub
💬 £1000 = Counselling sessions for those who desperately need healing but can't afford it
⚡ £5000 = Our Monthly utilities covered + doors stay open for EVERYONE
Every single donation - no matter how small - creates ripples of hope that spread through our entire community.
THE TRUTH: Without your support, vulnerable people lose their sanctuary. Families face crises alone. Children lose their safe space. Mental health support disappears.
THE HOPE: With your support, we continue being the beacon this community desperately needs.
Your donation isn't just funding our services - it's funding HOPE, HEALING, and SECOND CHANCES.

💪POWER UP AND BE THE LIGTH ⚡️
THE HARSH REALITY: A devastating £75,000 electricity bill has pushed us to the brink. The same lights that have illuminated hope for countless lives are now at risk of going dark forever.
THIS IS OUR MOMENT TO FIGHT BACK! 💪
For years, we've been YOUR community's beacon of hope - transforming lives, creating safe spaces, and being there when nowhere else would take people in. We've never asked for much, but today we're asking for EVERYTHING.
We've been the light for others when they couldn't find their way. Now we desperately need YOU to be the light for us.
EVERY SINGLE POUND COUNTS:
£5 = Hope for someone in crisis
£25 = A week of youth programmes
£100 = Emergency support for families
£500 = A month of mental health services
We're not just fighting for Happy Hub - we're fighting for the soul of our community.

Despite reports to the contrary, we want to reassure everyone that our organisation, Motivated-Minds and our home, Happy Hub, has secure funding in place to continue delivering our vital services. While the ongoing lack of consistent funding makes it a difficult landscape for the coming months and years, we remain fully operational and committed to our work.

Like many non-profit and community groups across the country, we are facing the significant challenge of rising operational costs and a very difficult funding landscape. This year has been exceptionally hard, putting immense pressure on services that support our community.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank our incredible volunteers, our valued customers, our amazing partners and generous funders, and of course our fantastic landlord, Eastgate Shopping Centre, for the unwavering support they give us.

As a nonprofit, Community Interest Company, our dedication to supporting the Basildon borough is at the heart of everything we do. Our hope is to have many more happy years ahead, providing essential services to those who need them most.

If you would like to donate to support our service, and help replenish our reserves after our whooping £75k electricity bill. Please follow the link... https://localgiving.org/fundraising/Crisis-Electricity-Bill

Love, Light & Strength
