FUNDING AND SPONSORSHIP
We are completely self-funded, although we have now been the recipient of two Cheltenham Community Pride grants. Up until now we have run two major events a year - our Summer Festival and a Christmas Craft Fair - together with a number of smaller fundraisers. And we have had the help of more than 100 local sponsors. You can see our current list of sponsors here. We are enormously grateful for their support.
As our running costs, such as printing and insurance, have slowly been increasing we have just started a new monthly cash draw (that you can read about above) so that we do not have to worry about covering our basic overheads.
MEDIA COVERAGE
We have had masses of media coverage since we started and you can see the list here.
Free Business Clinics with Cheltenham Borough Council - Monday afternoons
From this Monday we will be trialling FREE afternoon business clinics at the Municipal Offices in partnership with C4ED (Centre for Enterprise and Development)
With the reduction of the Business Link service to a website only, and a current lack of funding opportunities, the free trial clinics are designed to fill this gap in the interim by providing support and advice to local businesses and an opportunity to discuss any issues or concerns, ways in which to develop an existing business, as well as advice for start up businesses.
The 121 clinics will be held on Monday afternoons (first one will be 5th December) between 1 & 4.30pm at the Municipal Offices or alternatively for a charge of £40 a visit can be made to business premises.
To book an appointment please contact Alice Welham on 01242 775176
