Case Study: Basketball
A basketball group from Crawley approached me to look at funding. A member of the team had been individually funding the project for several months. No governance was in place, meaning that the group could not apply for funding.
The group were made aware of voluntary sector group structures which would enable them to be able to apply to grant funding. The group were helped through the process step by step including drawing up a suitable constitution, electing a committee and opening a bank account. The group are now being supported to apply for funding.
The group have now set up as an officially constituted organisation and are able to apply for funding/receive membership fees etc. to continue running their activity.
The benefit from having EESI on board ensures the individual will no longer need to continue self funding the group.
