Please partner with us to keep Activate alive for women like you or those you love.
As we previously shared, our main funding source is no longer available. This means we only have enough money to operate for another four months.
For several weeks, we’ve prayerfully considered whether Activate should continue, pause, or move in a new direction.
As a leadership team, we believe that God wants Activate to continue. But to do so, we will need to raise new funds quickly.
We’ve been blessed with free advice from an expert in charity work to help us create a fundraising strategy and plan. Our annual running costs are £50,000 per year, and over the next four months, we need to raise a minimum of £20,000 to keep our doors open. A monthly donation helps us plan for the future.
Whilst we are grateful for all donations in response to this, the first step in our fundraising plan is a Christmas campaign in which we will share our many stories of success and impact over the years.
You can contact us here to say you have a story and we will email you back.
