Broke Not Broken

Project Details

The applicant is requesting grant monies to provide a series of user-led activities for local women. The project will invite women currently using their services to meet, face to face or virtually, to develop relationships, share information and develop their own direction. Working with local social prescribers and community link workers, the women would be encouraged to plan their own days out, such as trips to the cinema, theatre, or museums. Broke not Broken recognizes that they are based in a rural area with limited transport available and what is available is expensive. There are baby and mother groups as well as WI groups and women’s circles, but many of these have barriers in terms of costs to join or can be run by people with no experience of poverty. The applicant hopes that this project will offer inclusive activities that are accessible to all. Once the group is established, Broke not Broken hopes to identify skills within participants and encourage them to share these skills through group workshops. The charity hopes this project will help to facilitate peer support and discussion amongst women, as well as increase the women?s own skills and confidence by having them lead on organizing and planning activities. Approximately 30 women from Perth and Kinross will stand to benefit from the project. Budget: This grant application represents a request of £5,000.00. This will go towards an overall project budget of £8,000.00. The breakdown of the full project budget is as follows: ? Room hire for in-person activities = £1,500.00 ? Transport costs for participants (bus, train, taxi) = £2,500.00 ? Funding for group excursions (nature of trips are to be decided collectively by the group) = £3,000.00 ? Refreshments = £1,000.00
