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
