SUPPORT JOHN CATTLE'S SKATE CLUB C.I.C

Hi Everyone,

We don't ask for straight up cash help lightly so we appreciate you taking the time to read.

As you may be aware we run our skateclub as a not for profit.

This means we have the tricky task of ensuring we have enough funds to run, whilst trying to keep things as affordable as possible. Over the last 3 years this has become much more difficult, and the last 12 months in particular has been much more of a struggle.

Along with our own costs rising, we know that many of the children and their families we work with, have also experienced their own financial difficulties. We have seen a huge increase in people wanting to access our club and what we can deliver, yet less money to be able to do it, which is both frustrtaing and upsetting.

At the current time we have some bills to pay and up and coming costs which are the boring but necessary behind the scenes things, like insurance etc, as well as updates for mandatory staff training.

Any money raised will go towards these types of expenses and give us a bit of breathing space whilst we wait for the outcome of some funding applications and consider what changes we may need to make to ensure we can keep working to the best of our ability, under any future financial restrictions.

We have always been extremely lucky with the amount of support we get, and never take it for granted. It keeps our little team together, doing what we love to do.

If you are in a position to donate we are very grateful.

THE SKATE CLUB TEAM
