The Drop Inn had a very bad financial start to 2012 with problems that had occurred the year before resulting in the organisation unable to find sustainable funding.
The refurbishment's were part of raising the profile again in a hope to attract some potential sponsorships or new funders. It was working really well and still is, but it wasn't a quick enough turn around, so unfortunately the centre faced even more financial troubles and it was looking at some desperate and emergency fundraising events.
We had to raise 6,000 by the end of April. We knew we were in real trouble, but have got loads of things in the pipeline which once up and running will never see the organisation in the same trouble again.
Andrea approached Belper Town Council for some funding, please follow the link below to see what was said:
