If delivery stops:

• Young people from marginalised backgrounds return to isolation during school holidays
• Some resume unsupervised time in public spaces
• Skills training pathways disappear
• Cultural identity support weakens
• Community-led prevention efforts are reduced

The risks do not pause because funding has not been secured.

What Sustainability Looks Like

We are not seeking rapid expansion. We are seeking stability and continuity.

Funding now would allow us to:

• Deliver consistent half-term enrichment programmes
• Secure tools and equipment for skills training
• Establish a permanent Hair Braiding Academy responding to documented demand
• Pay facilitators and leadership fairly
• Increase capacity to serve young people currently on waiting lists
• Strengthen safeguarding and venue access

This is about reinforcing a functioning model, not experimenting with a new one.

Why This Is The Moment

• Demand is proven
• Community trust is established
• Programmes are operational
• Parents are engaged
• Young people are actively participating

What is missing is sustained financial backing.

Funding Pretty Hearts CIC now means strengthening an existing, community-led response serving young people from Black and ethnic Minority group and young people from marginalised backgrounds before instability forces contraction.

What Partnership Can Look Like

We welcome:

• Corporate sponsorship and CSR partnerships
• Programme-specific funding
• Multi-year grant commitments
• In-kind equipment support
• Strategic advisory partnerships
• Site visits and institutional collaboration

This work is transparent, accountable, and measurable.

You are Invited
