We want to be transparent and accountable about how we are funded and how we spend your donations – please let us know if you’ve got a question.
The cost-of-living crisis continues to disproportionately impact the women that we support. This is being reflected in the significant increases in referrals we are seeing into our national service, Beyond Support. Having looked to consolidate recent year’s growth, we have had to respond to this increase in demand by growing frontline staff capacity.
We are conscious of the Trust and Foundation grant funding limitations with growing numbers of funders reporting high levels of applications being received and the impact therefore on their success rates; as well as many funders pausing grant funding for strategic reviews. The research report, Mapping the UK Women and Girls Sector and its Funding, commissioned by Rosa, the National Lottery Community Fund, and Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, also showed that the Women and Girls sector in the UK is underfunded and, therefore at current levels of investment, unsustainable.
With this in mind, and to ensure our recent growth is sustainable, Beyond the Streets is seeking to grow a broad support base (diversifying income revenue streams), whilst continuing to have robust financial review processes that keep a close eye on our use of charitable funds and look to keep overheads down.
We are grateful to all those who support the work of the charity and enable the positive impact changes we see in women’s lives.
“Thank you for your help. You never make me feel judged and do your best to help me.
I’ve never experienced this from services before.” – Woman supported by Beyond Support
Whilst we have listed some of our larger grant funders below, there are too many individuals, grant-making trusts, local businesses, churches and volunteers to mention individually. We remain indebted, however, to this growing group of supporters and those who organise events to raise funds for our work.
For more information on the charity finances, our latest accounts are available on the Charity Commission website.
