We can do this, with your help!

With a new landscape to navigate, it is no longer ‘business as usual’ around the globe, and the Champion Centre is no different. We are rising to the challenge and we have explored and created remote engagement with our community over the ‘lockdown’ period, moved with agility and responded to the changes in our current environment. We are doing much more with a lot less. While the Centre is feeling grateful and positive about the community support we are experiencing, many of our usual funding opportunities are now insufficient to satisfy the urgent needs of the charitable sector.

Funding grant makers are confronted with difficult decisions about where to distribute limited resources. We are continually reflecting on what we need to do to rethink, recover and rebuild. As a Centre, we are looking at how we can remain sustainable now, and into the future. We urgently need to explore and establish new partnerships, as it is clear that the philanthropic sector, and those investing in social impact initiatives will now need to revise their practices, in order to respond to a significantly altered economy. With lost revenue through postponed, cancelled and declined grant rounds, gaming trusts and fundraising initiatives, we are now faced with reaching out, as never before, to cover the most basic of our programme expenses.

The time for action is here! What we experience as a society, and the input and choices we make now, will affect the outcomes and lives of the generations of children that follow us. By thinking and working differently with our community and other philanthropic partners, we want to be well positioned to continue to provide the vital intervention services we have delivered for over 42 years.

Without your support, this may not be possible. The Champion Centre, alongside the Champion Foundation Trust are constantly thinking ‘outside the box’, for ways we can connect and develop our community support. We are very appreciative that you are part of that team, that continue to protect and champion our families and their young children. We have work to do, but collectively we can achieve so much. Philanthropy has many faces, and we are in awe of the multitude of ideas people have suggested from ‘bespoke’ knitted creations to mufti days and sausage sizzles, volunteering valuable time and talents, and gifting ‘in-kind’ products and services, your efforts are the glue that keeps the Centre together.
