Update on Satisfy’s Forever Home Project
15 October 2024Hello amazing supporter! As you may be aware, the funding landscape has become incredibly tough. We are facing a more competitive environment, and this has slowed our progress in securing the full funding we need to move ahead as originally planned. However, our team remains committed to finding solutions that will allow us to bring this project to life. Here are some of the steps we are taking: We are actively investigating options to reduce overall build costs or potentially stage the build in phases to ease financial pressures. In addition to traditional funding avenues, we are exploring alternative options, such as loans from impact investment providers, to bridge any gaps in funding. Recognising the immediate space needs of our growing operations, we are also considering interim solutions, such as renting a larger premises in the short term, while continuing to work toward our long-term vision. Our staff are dedicating significant time and energy to maintaining our current operations, which continue to grow. Our current premises is increasingly stretched to accommodate the volume of rescued food, staff, and volunteers. This has, in part, limited our ability to fully focus on the new premises build as much as we would have liked. Your support has always been the backbone of our work, and we truly value your partnership. Thank you for standing with us as we navigate these challenges. All good things sure do take time! We will get there!
